Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1-inch thick) Beef shanks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 stalks, chopped Celery
- 1 medium, chopped Carrot
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1.5 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 2 leaves Bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons, chopped Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Season the beef shanks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the avocado oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef shanks in the hot oil until they are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the shanks and set them aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in the beef broth and white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
Return the beef shanks to the pot and add the bay leaves and fresh thyme.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the Osso Bucco cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Check occasionally and add a bit more broth if the liquid reduces too much.
Once done, remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the Osso Bucco and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest for a bright finish.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto-friendly Osso Bucco.
