DIRECTIONS
Tie the meat securely with fine string so it will keep its shape during cooking. In a large casserole, heat the butter with the oil. Add the roast and brown gently for about 20 minutes, turning from time to time. Add the vegetables and the bunch of herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Pour on the red wine and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.

In a bowl, stir the flour into the stock, a little at a time so no lumps form. Stir in the tomato puree. Pour the mixture into the casserole with the meat and blend thoroughly into the cooking liquid. Stir the sauce carefully as it thickens for about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat. Take out the meat and remove the string. Slice the veal and arrange it on a heated serving plate. Surround it with the vegetables, spoon the hot sauce over both meat and vegetables and serve.
