Osso bucco are two inch thick, crosscut sections of the veal shank, which is the bottom part of the leg. Each piece of osso bucco consists of lean meat and connective tissue surrounding a bone-marrow filled chunk of bone.
When osso bucco are braised the bone marrow melts into the sauce, making it extra rich, and the meat becomes truly fork-tender. While you can make delicious veal osso bucco in the Instant Pot, we actually recommend pulling out your dutch oven and going old school with this dish. The way that the meat and sauce are able to meld together over several hours in the oven and the delicious aromas that perfume your house are more than worth the added cooking time.
Each package of Plumb Rocky Farm osso bucco weighs just under a pound which is enough for one person.
** Rose veal comes from Jersey cows raised on pasture alongside their mothers so that they eat a diet of milk and grass. The meat has beautiful yellow fat and marbling, and a rich, almost red color. Our veal is tender and incredibly flavorful. **
