Asian-Inspired Osso Buco
This is osso buco like you've never had it before! Swap the deep, tomato-heavy liquid for a bright braising liquid that zings with fresh ginger, peppers, and scallions.
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Servings: 4

Directions

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • Four 1-pound pieces of beef shank
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger, plus 2 tablespoons finely slivered
  • 20 cilantro sprigs with roots, plus cilantro leaves for garnish
  • 4 star anise pods
  • 2 tablespoons Szechwan peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 3 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 1 cup dry sherry
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 large scallions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the beef shanks, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the shanks to a plate and discard the oil.
  2. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and the garlic, sugar, onion and chopped ginger to the casserole and cook over low heat until the onion is deeply browned, about 7 minutes. Add the cilantro sprigs, star anise, Szechwan peppercorns and crushed red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth, sherry and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Return the shanks to the casserole and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in the oven for about 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
  3. Transfer the shanks to a platter and cover with foil. Strain the sauce and return it to the casserole. Simmer over low heat until very flavorful, about 5 minutes. Add the slivered ginger and the veal shanks, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Transfer the shanks to shallow bowls and spoon the sauce on top. Sprinkle with the scallions and cilantro leaves and serve.
