Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by lightly dredging the beef osso bucco shanks in seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Set the floured shanks aside.
  2. In a heavy casserole, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef shanks and brown them on all sides for about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and crushed garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of rosé wine, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add in a can of diced tomatoes, 2 cups of beef stock, and the thyme sprigs. Stir until well combined.
  6. Return the browned beef shanks to the pot, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 3 to 4 hours, or transfer to an oven preheated to 140 °C (280 °F).
  7. Taste the sauce and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Stir in 50 grams of butter just before serving.
