Orloff-Style Roast Veal with Pears

Ingredients:

• 1 (2-3 lb.) boneless veal roast
• 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
• 6-7 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Season the veal roast with salt and pepper and tie with kitchen twine.
3. Heat the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When hot, sear the veal on all sides until browned. Remove the veal from the skillet and keep it warm.
4. Add the onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté until tender.
5. Add the pears, thyme, and flour to the skillet and stir for a minute to coat everything well.
6. Gradually stir in the white wine and the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze all the bits stuck to it.
7. Return the veal to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over it. Cover the skillet with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.
8. Let the veal rest for 10 minutes before slicing it and serving with the pears and the sauce.
