Premium Grass-Fed Beef Osso Bucco

Our Grass-Fed Beef Osso Bucco (often referred to as Beef Shanks) offers an exquisite culinary experience, marrying the traditional Italian dish's rustic charm with the unparalleled quality of sustainably raised, grass-fed beef. Each cut is selected from the finest part of the leg, featuring a cross-section of the shin bone with its marrow, surrounded by tender, flavorful meat. This classic dish is reimagined with our grass-fed beef, providing a healthier, more flavorful version that honors its Italian heritage while embracing modern, sustainable farming practices.

Rich Flavor and Nutritional Benefits

Our grass-fed beef Osso Bucco stands out for its depth of flavor and nutritional superiority. The grass-fed diet of our cattle not only enhances the beef's natural flavors, creating a more complex and rich taste profile but also boosts its health benefits. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, our beef Osso Bucco is a healthier choice that doesn't compromise on taste or texture. The marrow in the bone adds a luxurious richness to the dish, making it a perfect comfort food that nourishes the body and soul.

Sustainably and Ethically Raised

We are committed to ethical and sustainable farming practices, ensuring that our cattle roam freely on lush pastures, grazing on natural grasses. This approach not only promotes the health and welfare of our animals but also supports the environment by maintaining healthy soil, reducing carbon footprint, and promoting biodiversity. By choosing our grass-fed beef Osso Bucco, you're supporting a farming method that respects the planet and its inhabitants.

Cooking to Perfection

Our grass-fed beef Osso Bucco is ideally suited for slow cooking, which tenderizes the meat and enriches the flavors. Braised with a mixture of vegetables, white wine, and broth, it transforms into a succulent, fall-off-the-bone dish that's both hearty and comforting. The key to its preparation lies in its low and slow cooking process, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a dish that's both sophisticated and deeply satisfying.

Versatile and Delicious

While traditionally served with risotto alla milanese, our grass-fed beef Osso Bucco is incredibly versatile. It pairs wonderfully with polenta, mashed potatoes, or a simple side of roasted vegetables. Its rich sauce complements a variety of sides, making it a perfect centerpiece for a family dinner, special occasion, or any meal where you want to impress your guests.

Cooking grass-fed beef Osso Bucco is a rewarding process that yields a rich, flavorful, and tender dish. Here's a concise method to prepare it:

1. Season and Sear: Begin by seasoning the Osso Bucco (beef shanks) generously with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy, oven-proof pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Sear the shanks on all sides until they are nicely browned. This step is crucial for developing deep flavors.

2. Sauté Vegetables: Remove the shanks and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onions, carrots, and celery (mirepoix). Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly browned. You can also add minced garlic in the last minute of sautéing for added aroma.

3. Deglaze and Simmer: Add a splash of dry white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Once the wine has reduced by half, return the shanks to the pot. Add enough beef broth to nearly cover the meat, along with a can of diced tomatoes, a bay leaf, and fresh thyme.

4. Braise: Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C). Braise for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and almost falling off the bone.

5. Final Touches: Once the meat is tender, you can remove the shanks and strain the cooking liquid, skimming off excess fat. Reduce the strained liquid over medium heat until it thickens into a rich sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve: Serve the Osso Bucco with the sauce spooned over the top. Traditional accompaniments include risotto alla milanese or creamy polenta, which complement the rich flavors of the dish beautifully.

Grass-fed beef Osso Bucco requires slow and low cooking to achieve its signature tenderness and concentrate its flavors, making it a perfect dish for a cozy dinner or special occasion.
