Directions
-
Warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
-
Add the halved mushrooms and cook for about 7 minutes, or until slightly browned.
-
Remove the mushrooms and any accumulated liquid from the pot and transfer them to a medium bowl.
-
Place the all-purpose flour in a large plastic or paper bag.
-
Add the cubed veal stew meat to the bag in two batches, shaking vigorously to coat evenly, then shake off excess flour.
-
Place the coated veal in a single layer on wax paper.
-
Warm 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
-
Add the veal in batches to ensure the pan is not crowded.
-
Cook the veal until browned on all sides.
-
Remove the browned veal to a large plate.
-
Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the pot; add the chopped onions and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to remove two long strips (about 5 inches long) of peel from the oranges.
-
Squeeze the oranges to obtain 3/4 cup of fresh juice and set both the juice and peel aside.
-
Reduce the heat under the pot; add the orange juice and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
-
Stir in the browned veal along with any juices, the orange peel strips, and the minced garlic.
-
Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the veal is tender, stirring occasionally.
-
Stir in the reserved mushrooms with their liquid and the peeled baby carrots.
-
Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
-
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
