How to Cook Wagyu Beef Osso Buco
Low, slow, and moist cooking is the key to tender beef shanks.
Pat the shank steaks dry and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Lightly dust with flour if desired, then brown both sides in a heavy Dutch oven with a little cooking fat.
Add diced onions, carrots, celery, garlic, beef broth, and tomatoes or other preferred braising ingredients. Cover and cook gently in a low oven until the beef becomes fork-tender.
Depending on thickness, beef shanks typically require several hours of slow cooking. The meat is ready when the connective tissue has softened and the beef yields easily to a fork.
For a traditional osso buco-inspired finish, top with gremolata, a fresh mixture of parsley, lemon zest, and garlic. Its bright flavor beautifully complements the richness of the beef.
