A refined version of the Italian dish, featuring veal shanks braised in a rich sauce and served with buttered green beans.

Method

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Dredge veal shanks in flour, shaking off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet. Brown the veal shanks on all sides.
Add onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add beef broth, cover, and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender.
While the ossobuco bakes, heat butter in a pan. Add green beans and sauté until crisp-tender.
Once the ossobuco is done, serve it with the buttered green beans and sprinkle with parsley.
For whole cuts, check a minimum internal temperature of 63°C (145°F), then rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
