Mediterranean Osso Bucco
Ingredients:
4 lbs Eden Pure beef osso bucco/shank steaks
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 lemon, sliced
​
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
-
Season the osso bucco generously with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
-
Add the osso bucco cuts to the pot and sear them until they are browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the osso bucco cuts from the pot and set them aside on a plate.
-
Add the onion to the pot and sauté until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes to the pot, and sauté for another minute.
-
Add the diced tomatoes, white wine, and chicken or beef broth to the pot, and stir to combine.
-
Return the osso bucco cuts to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid.
-
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
-
Once the osso bucco is done, remove the pot from the oven and sprinkle the fresh parsley and basil over the top.
-
Serve the osso bucco hot, with lemon slices on the side for squeezing over the meat
