Steps

Coat the veal shanks with flour and season them with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then brown the shanks for 3 minutes per side.
Add the remaining butter, onion, carrot, celery, fennel, and garlic, then cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in the wine and simmer for 3 minutes, scraping the pan.
Add the stock, tomatoes, orange zest, marjoram, and bay leaf, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until the veal reaches 145 F and is tender.
