Introduce the dish and explain it is a slow-cooked beef shank in a rich sauce.

Display ingredients for two servings and mention they can be doubled.

Pat the veal shanks dry with paper towels and coat them in flour, shaking off excess.

Heat a mixture of olive oil and butter in a pot until shimmering.

Sear the veal shanks on all sides until golden brown, ensuring a crust forms.

Remove the shanks and set them aside on a plate.

In the remaining fat, sauté chopped onions for one minute until softened.

Add diced carrots and celery, cooking until they begin to soften.

Mince garlic and add it to the vegetables, cooking for an additional minute.

Pour in approximately 150 ml of white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pot.

Add canned tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to combine; if beef broth is unavailable, chicken or vegetable broth can be used.

Season with thyme, a sprig of rosemary, a bay leaf, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Return the veal shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid doesn't reduce too much.

If the liquid decreases, add warm broth or water to maintain the level.

Prepare gremolata by finely chopping parsley, crushing a garlic clove, and adding lemon zest; mix well and set aside.

As the osso buco nears completion, the kitchen will fill with aromas.

Serve the osso buco over a creamy polenta, risotto, or simple boiled rice, and top with the gremolata.
