Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Heat oil in a large casserole over high heat until almost smoking. Add veal and brown on all sides, then remove to a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside. Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and fennel to pot and sauté until wilted and lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Pour in vermouth, bring to a boil and reduce by half, then stir in diluted
Glace de Viande Gold®, tomatoes, orange zest, and thyme. Return meat to pot, stir, cover tightly, and cook in oven until tender, about 1 hour. After about 45 minutes, add pepper and olives, and return to oven. Once meat is tender, if sauce is too thin, reduce over high heat. Add a splash of vermouth before serving.
