How to Make Veal And Green Bean Stew

  1. Cut 1 lb veal into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place veal cubes in a large pot with 4 cups cold water, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp monosodium glutamate.
  3. Cover and bring to a slow boil over medium heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
  5. Meanwhile, wash 1 lb green beans, trim the ends, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Add the green beans to the pot with the veal, cover loosely, and cook for 25 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
  7. While the stew simmers, dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube in 1/2 cup very hot water. Set aside.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat and carefully drain the stock from the meat and beans, reserving the stock.
  9. Return the veal and beans to the pot.
  10. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat.
  11. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp monosodium glutamate.
  12. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and is lightly browned (about 1 minute).
  13. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the reserved stock, 1 cup chicken broth, and 1 tbsp white wine vinegar.
  14. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  15. Stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 tsp savory, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  16. Pour the sauce over the veal and green beans in the pot.
  17. Heat for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly heated through. Serve hot, topped with mashed potatoes (optional).
