Ingredients

Dry White Wine - 5 fl oz
Oranges - 3 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Each piece of beef shank weighed about 500 grams. It is advisable to wrap the meat with kitchen twine 2–3 times around the outer diameter to prevent it from falling apart during braising.

Step 2

I squeezed the juice from the oranges using a juicer.

Step 3

I seasoned the meat with salt and pepper. I coated it in flour. In a deep and large pot, I heated the olive oil and sautéed the beef along with the spices, garlic, and chili (optional).

Step 4

As soon as the meat was browned, I poured in the wine and let the liquid simmer for 5 minutes. Then, I added hot water to the pot, almost completely covering the pieces of osso buco. I added the orange juice to the boiling broth along with thyme and rosemary.
