Beef osso bucco is a comforting, flavorful cut—rich with marrow and perfect for slow braises that yield tender meat and deep, hearty broth. Here’s how we prepare it at Fields of Athenry.
Pat Dry & Season – Start by drying the shanks, then season with kosher salt and cracked pepper.
Sear for Depth – Brown on all sides in a hot Dutch oven or skillet to develop rich flavor.
Braise Low & Slow – Add aromatics like onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and herbs, then cover with broth, wine, or tomatoes. Simmer gently at 275–300°F for 2½–3 hours.
Cook Until Tender – Osso bucco is ready when the meat is fork-tender and nearly falling off the bone.
Embrace the Marrow – The bone marrow enriches the braising liquid, making a luxurious sauce.
Rest & Serve – Let it rest briefly, then serve over mashed potatoes, risotto, or polenta for a hearty meal.
From Farm to Feast—happy cooking!
