Whether it’s pork, beef or chicken, nothing beats braising when you’re aiming for fall-off-the-bone meat. And there’s no braised dish more iconic than beef osso buco. Thankfully, you don’t have to be in an upscale restaurant to enjoy this impressive dish. Time to cross the recipe off your cooking bucket list<\/a>!<\/p>\n Like other five-star slow-cooker recipes<\/a>, you’ll have to brown the meat before placing it in your crockpot. Then, you’ll braise it with vegetables and wine for up to nine hours. It’s served with sauce and gremolata, and you can sop it up with your favorite starch, be it polenta, pasta or crusty bread.<\/p>\n Osso buco is traditionally made with veal shanks, but this recipe uses beef shanks instead. Beef shanks are affordable and tend to be easily available in the meat department. It’s not a cut of meat that you’d throw on the grill for a quick dinner, but when it’s cooked properly, you’ll end up with the most tender piece of meat you’ve ever had. That’s because\u00a0tougher cuts of meat<\/a>\u00a0like beef shanks soften with the low and slow cooking time.<\/p>\n In a large resealable container, combine the flour, 1\/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Add the beef to the flour mixture, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat the beef. Remove the pieces from the flour.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Make sure to dust off any excess flour from the beef. Set up a dry strainer and toss the beef in it to shake off extra flour before searing it.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, brown beef in butter and oil. Transfer the meat and drippings to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the wine to the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the wine over the meat.<\/p>\n Add the tomatoes, broth, carrots, onion, celery, thyme, oregano, bay leaves and remaining 1\/4 teaspoon of salt, and stir.<\/p>\n Cover the pot and cook the beef on low for seven to nine hours. The meat should be so tender it’s falling off the bone. Discard the bay leaves.<\/p>\n Skim the fat from the cooking juices, then transfer the cooking juices to a large saucepan. Bring the juices to a boil. Combine the cornstarch and water and mix until they form a smooth slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil. Cook and stir until the sauce is thickened, about two minutes.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the minced parsley, lemon zest, orange zest and minced garlic to make the gremolata. Serve the beef with the sauce and gremolata. If desired, serve the beef over creamy polenta<\/a>.<\/p>\n Like most braised meats, osso buco stores really well and will even taste better on the second day. Once it’s cool, store it with the vegetables and sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. Store the gremolata separately so it doesn’t get soggy.<\/p>\n Beef osso buco will last for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.<\/p>\n Freezing beef osso buco is super easy, and won’t mess with the flavor or texture of the meat. Store it in its sauce in a freezer safe, airtight container for up to three months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating it.<\/p>\n You can reheat osso buco in the oven, on the stovetop or in the microwave. It just needs to be heated until the meat is warmed all the way through and the sauce starts to bubble.<\/p>\n You can definitely eat the bone marrow in this beef osso buco. For many people, that’s the best part. You can eat it straight off the bone or scoop it out and spread it on\u00a0Italian bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because beef shank osso buco is so saucy, it’s best served over starchy bases like polenta, creamy mashed potatoes<\/a> or a portobello risotto<\/a>. In some places it’s served over pasta. Have crusty bread on the side to sop up the sauce, and round it all out with a simple side salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n As is evidenced by our recipe, beef osso buco is perfect for your slow cooker. It’s often cooked in a Dutch oven, but using a slow cooker means you can set it and forget it, making it perfect for days when you want to come home to a fancy meal.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This beef osso buco is cooked low and slow for many hours in the crockpot, resulting in the most tender, fall-off-the-bone meat to serve over

What can you serve with beef osso buco?<\/h3>\n
Can you make beef osso buco in the slow cooker?<\/h3>\n
Test Kitchen tips<\/b>\r\nWhat cut of meat do you use to make osso bucco? <\/h3>Traditionally, osso bucco is made with veal shanks. This recipe calls for beef shanks (from the adult cow rather than the calf). Beef shanks are more easily found in stores, and usually less expensive; you can still use veal for this recipe if you prefer. Because the shank is a tougher cut of meat, it's best when cooked low, slow and long\u2014just right for braising or cooking in a slow cooker. Slow-cooking also makes the most of the bones' tasty marrow. \r\n
What do you serve with beef osso bucco?<\/h3>Osso bucco is tender, savory meat with a rich, delicious sauce, so you want a side dish to soak it all up. Think polenta, as in this rosemary beef roast over cheesy polenta<\/a>, mashed potatoes, pasta or plain rice (here are some tips on how to make rice<\/a>). A hunk of homemade crusty French bread<\/a> would be just the thing, too. You want a bread with some density to sop up the juice. \r\n
How do you store and reheat osso bucco? <\/h3>Osso bucco reheats well, so it\u2019s a natural for making ahead of time (and tastes even better the next day). Let it cool, then place it with the vegetables and juices in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The gremolata should be stored in its own separate container. To reheat osso bucco, scrape off any congealed fat on the surface, then reheat gently, either low and slow in the oven, on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. Because the bones will take longer to come up to temperature, you don\u2019t want to end up overcooking the meat while the bones still aren\u2019t hot. Just make sure it\u2019s covered so it doesn\u2019t dry out.
