The “tendrons” of veal is the breast portion that contains the cartilaginous ribs. However any stewing cuts such as short ribs, veal shoulder, shoulder chops or shank are good since they all have some bones and cartilages.  The veal tastes better if it is done 2 or 3 days in advance. Leave it in its sauce and do the last steps just before serving.
