Procedure:
In a 10in sauce pan, Heat the olive oil until it smokes. Then season the veal shank and place one side of it in the hot oil
when it reaches a rich brown color turn it over and repeat on the other side, be careful with your heat, you don’t want to
burn the fond. Next remove the shank and add the carrot, celery, leak, garlic, and onion to the pan and gently sauté until
lightly caramelized. Then add half of the Brunello and all of the veal stock, put the shank back in the pan and cover it with
a lid or tin foil, cook until the shank is fork tender all the way through. When the shank is done remove it from the braising
liquid and cool it in the fridge, keep reducing the liquid about 2/3 then strain through a cheese cloth lined chinoise.
When the shank has cooled, shred the meat with your fingers in medium size pieces and place in a mixing bowl then scoop
out the bone marrow and mix it into the shredded veal gently (don’t tear up what you have shredded) and season to taste.
Next pick the herbs from there stem and chop them. In a mixing bowl, mix the chopped herbs with extra course sea salt
and fresh cracked pepper. Then take the veal chop and scrub the bone with steel wool removing any connective tissue.
Then lightly pound the chop to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Next take your shredded veal mixture and place it in the center
of the veal chop and roll it up then wrap it with the cual fat keeping the bone in a vertical position, it should go around twice.
Then in a hot sauté pan sear the chop until golden brown and the fat is crisp. Now crust the chop with your herb mixture
and Place in a 350 degree oven to finish. When the veal comes out place it on a rack to rest about 5 min before slicing.
Then take your hot pan and deglaze it with about half of what is left of the brunello, reduce by 7/8 and add the reduced
braising liquid and reduce until it will coat the back of a spoon. Slice and Serve over the risotto keeping the bone attached
and garnish with fresh chervil and fresh chives.
