Step 1
Season the 2 veal shanks with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shanks and sear until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped carrot. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add 2 chopped tomatoes and 1 cup chicken broth. Stir, scraping up any browned bits. Return the shanks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Step 4
Cover and simmer over low heat until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. The meat should pull easily from the bone.
Step 5
Serve the osso buco with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and rosemary if you have them.
