Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather your ingredients and chop the onion, carrot, and celery.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sear 4 pieces of beef shanks for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  3. Remove the beef shanks and set them aside. In the same pot, add chopped onion, diced carrot, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of white wine, scraping up the brown bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the beef shanks to the pot and add 2 cups of beef broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Stir to combine.
  6. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and carefully transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender.
  7. Remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve your Beef Osso Bucco over creamy polenta or rich risotto.
