Slow Cooker Tips for Osso Bucco
-
Brown First for Flavor
Season lightly with salt and pepper and then sear the Osso Bucco in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker. This caramelizes the meat and builds rich flavor. -
Layer Your Ingredients
Place root vegetables (like carrots, onions, and celery) on the bottom. Rest the seared Osso Bucco on top to prevent it from stewing in excess liquid. -
Use the Right Liquid
Add a mix of beef stock, red or white wine, crushed tomatoes, and herbs. You only need enough to come halfway up the meat — Osso Bucco will release its own juices. -
Low & Slow Is Best
Cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender and the marrow has infused the sauce. -
Finish With Freshness
Just before serving, stir in a gremolata (chopped parsley, lemon zest, and garlic) to brighten the rich flavors.
