Cut Overview
About This Cut

Osso bucco is the shin bone cross-cut into thick rounds with the marrow exposed in the centre. The surrounding meat is tough and collagen-rich, which makes it ideal for slow braising. Tie each piece with kitchen twine before searing so the meat stays on the bone. Braise at 150 to 160°C for 2.5 to 3 hours. Serve with the marrow still in the bone and spoon it out at the table.

Watch the Cook
Slow-cooked beef osso bucco
Slow-Cooked Osso Bucco
Seared shanks, soffritto, white wine and passata, then 8-9 hours on low in gelatin-rich bone broth. No water, no stirring.
Tip: The bone broth (not stock) is what gives the sauce its body. Keep the liquid just under halfway up the meat so the marrow can baste the shanks as they slow cook. Do not stir during the long cook, the sauce builds itself.
