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

What cut of meat do you use for osso buco?<\/h2>\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
