What You'll Need

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 veal shanks, cut 2 inches thick (see Tip)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (10-3/4-ounce) can condensed onion soup
4 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pound baby carrots
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch

What to Do

In a shallow dish, combine the flour and pepper. Coat the veal with the flour mixture.
In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat and brown the shanks, about 5 minutes per side. Add the onion soup, potatoes, carrots, tomato, wine, 1/2 cup water, the lemon juice, parsley, and garlic powder; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours or until tender, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons water and stir into the pot until the sauce has thickened.

Notes

When buying the veal shanks, have the butcher cut them 2 inches thick for you.
