180 ml (3/4 cup) flour

2. In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat oil and butter over low heat. Add the vegetables. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until browned. Transfer vegetables to a bowl.
3. Roll the pieces of veal shank in flour, shaking them to remove any excess.
4. In the same pot, brown the pieces of meat on both sides over medium heat.
