Today I share with you my recipe of a delicious and tender Beef Osso Buco. Traditionally Osso Buco is made from veal, but beef works just as fine.
The Assumption that beef is less tender is not correct, with this recipe I show you how delicious and tender this Beef Osso Buco is gonna get.
Osso Buco means bone with a hole and in that hole you gonna find the bone marrow, what is the most nutricious part and super delicious. While you stew the meat in the oven, the bone marrow is going to leak into the sauce for the most part which gives your sauce the most wonderful taste.
I serve this Beef Osso Buco with Cremolata, a delicious topping of chopped parsley, garlic and grated lemon zest.
As a side dish I prepared Risotto Milanese. At the end of this clip you’ll find a link to the video/recipe,
