Ingredients: 4 veal shanks, each about 2 inches thick; ½ cup all-purpose flour; 4 tablespoons olive oil; 1 large onion, finely chopped; 2 carrots, finely chopped; 2 celery stalks, finely chopped; 4 garlic cloves, minced; 1 cup dry white wine; 2 cups beef or vegetable broth; 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes; 2 bay leaves; 2 sprigs of fresh thyme; Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Gather all of the needed ingredients, which include veal shanks, flour, olive oil, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, white wine, broth, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Prepare the veal shanks by seasoning them with salt and pepper. Dredge each shank in flour, making sure to coat evenly, and shake off any excess
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the veal shanks on all sides until they are a nice golden brown color. Remove the shanks from the pot and set them aside when done.
Add the finely diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the same pot. Sauté the vegetables until they soften and create a pleasant aroma
Pour in the white wine, swirling and scraping off any caramelized pieces from the bottom of the pot. This step gives the sauce depth and richness.
Add the beef or vegetable broth to the pot with the veal shanks. Combine the smashed tomatoes, bay leaves, and fresh thyme sprigs in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cover the pot, lower the heat to low, and leave the Osso Buco to simmer for 2 to 3 hours. Slow cooking ensures that the meat becomes soft and easily separates from the bone
