Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 1.5 inches thick) Veal shanks
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 large Carrot, diced
• 1 large Celery stalk, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest, finely grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Pat the veal shanks dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge each veal shank in the flour, shaking off excess.

Step 4

In a large oven-proof Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the veal shanks to the pot and sear them on all sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the shanks and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften and begin to caramelize.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Deglaze the pot with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 9

Add the crushed tomatoes, beef stock, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Return the veal shanks to the pot, nestling them into the sauce. Ensure they are partially submerged.

Step 11

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 1.5-2 hours, occasionally basting the meat with the cooking liquid.

Step 12

The veal is done when it is fork-tender and almost falling off the bone.

Step 13

Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Step 14

In a small bowl, mix the chopped parsley and grated lemon zest together to create a gremolata.

Step 15

Serve the veal shanks with the sauce spooned over the top and garnish with a sprinkle of the gremolata.

Step 16

Enjoy your delicious Veal Osso Buco Yummy!
