Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 135°C (275°F)
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
  4. Sear on both sides.
  5. Set aside.

  7. Add the white wine and veal stock.
  8. Add the thyme and bay leaf.
  9. Place the beef back in the Dutch oven.
  10. Cover and cook in the oven for about 3 hours, until the meat pulls apart easily.
  11. In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Sweat the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes.
  12. Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  13. Moisten with the white wine and cook, stirring occasionally until the rice has absorbed almost all of the liquid.
  14. Add 250 ml (1 cup) of chicken broth and continue cooking, stirring frequently.
  15. Finish the cooking, gradually adding the rest of the broth as the rice absorbs it.
  16. Remove from the heat.
