Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make stock, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place bones in a medium roasting pan, and roast, turning once or twice, until deeply browned, about 2 hours. Add onions, celery, carrots, garlic and tomato paste, and roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are deep golden brown, about 1 ¼ hours.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer bones and vegetables to a 2-gallon stockpot. Place roasting pan on stove, add 2 cups water and deglaze over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits. Transfer deglazing liquid into stockpot with bones. Add thyme, bay leaf, parsley stems and 2 ½ quarts water. Bring to a simmer over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer until stock is rich and flavorful, about 5 hours. Remove from heat, and strain into a deep saucepan; there should be 8 cups stock. Place saucepan in sink of ice water to cool stock; then refrigerate until ready to use. (While stock is cold, scoop hardened fat from surface, and discard it.) Freeze half the stock to use later.

  3. Step 3

    To make sauce, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and sauté carrot and celery, stirring constantly, until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add thyme and pinot noir, bring to a simmer and simmer until reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes. Strain into a clean saucepan.

  4. Step 4

    Add 4 cups veal stock, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1 ½ cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high, and add butter piece by piece, whisking to emulsify. Sauce will become glossy and coat back of a wooden spoon. As soon as butter is incorporated, remove sauce from heat, and spoon onto meat.

Tip
  • Store-bought veal stock, or beef stock, may be used in place of homemade.
