Osso Bucco Recipe

Dredge the pieces in flour, tap the excess of and brown them in a large dutch oven. Set them aside.

In the pot you browned the meat, add 3 Tbsp olive oil and 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, 1 chopped celery stalk, 2 pressed cloves of garlic, 3 sprigs of thyme and 2 bay leaves. Cook down about 10-15 minutes until veggies are translucent.

Nestlé the veal into the pot of veggies, pour in 2 cups of red wine and enough beef or veal stock to completely cover the veal. Bring to a simmer and put into a 350 oven for 1-1/2 hours. Remove the shanks from the liquid to a dry baking dish and put back into the oven for 30 minutes.

Serve with polenta or gnocchi.

Awesome. Thanks guys. That looks fairly simple and very similar to a recipe I use to cook short ribs.

Since 9 last night? Man, I bet you'll be able to cut that meat with your finger. So tender and delicious.

Everyone makes it a little bit different but here is my method

1. Definitely use kitchen twine to tie the shanks so they don't fall apart. If you don't do anything else at least do this.

Brown the shanks in a dutch oven and remove. I like to make mine with a mirepoix. I usually add a couple of tablespoons of flour to thicken the sauce. For the sauce I use red wine (usually something like a cab) and beef stock. Add the shanks in to where they're about halfway covered in the sauce and throw it in the oven on 325 for a couple of hours. Check periodically to check the thickness of the sauce. You may need to add more liquid.

I like to serve it with a saffron pea risotto

ETA: I usually put some tomato paste in the sauce also. I like a rich red sauce.

This is what it looks like before I add the wine and broth. I realize it's probably darker and richer than what is typically served but it's how I like it

Trinity but carrots in the place of bell pepper

That recipe is how I make short ribs. It's rich and delicious. You will love it.
