Sauté the sliced onion with a pinch of salt, olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over a low heat for 10 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic cloves, rosemary and crushed peppercorns, stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes. When the onions and garlic are soft enough remove from the stove to cool.
While the onions are slowly cooking, prepare the veal shank. Use a sharp knife to remove all white membrane and tie up the veal shank with kitchen twine.
Place the veal shank in the sous-vide pouch with the cold onion confit and seal the bag.
Program the precision water bath cooker to 75°C, submerge the bag into the water and cook for 18 hours.
