Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

Season veal shank with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Sear veal shank on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove veal shank and set aside.

Add butter to the pot, then add onions, carrots, and celery.

Sauté vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary; stir to combine.

Return veal shank to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in liquid.

Cover pot and transfer to the oven; braise for 2-3 hours until tender.

Check occasionally, adding more broth if needed to keep shank submerged.

Once done, remove veal shank and let rest for 10 minutes.

Strain the cooking liquid and reduce if desired for a sauce.

Serve veal shank with sauce drizzled on top, garnished with lemon zest and parsley.
