Number Of Ingredients 15

4 veal shanks, cut 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup milled or crushed canned Italian plum tomatoes
2 cups dry red wine
2 cups veal stock, Homemade Chicken Stock, or low-sodium canned broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Sprinkle the veal shanks with salt and pepper. Spread about 1/2 cup flour on a plate, and dredge the shanks in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • In a heavy ovenproof pot with a lid, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shanks, and cook until lightly browned on both sides, turning once. Transfer to a plate, and turn off the heat. Using paper towels, carefully wipe out the pot.
  • Add olive oil to pot, and heat over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, and onion, and cook until the onion is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the shanks and tomatoes, wine, stock, thyme, sage, or oregano, zest, and salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a simmer. Cover, and bake about 2 1/2 hours, until the veal is very tender. Taste for salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's definitely worth the effort. The slow-cooking process allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become incredibly tender.

I used veal shanks instead of beef and it turned out great. The meat was even more tender and flavorful.

This osso buco recipe was a hit! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
