Explore the rich, culinary tradition of Osso Bucco, a flavorful cut of grass-finished beef from Raised Wild Texas.
Taken from the shank, Osso Bucco is prized for its tender, marrow-rich meat and its ability to transform slow-cooked dishes into deeply satisfying meals.
What is Osso Bucco?
Osso Bucco, meaning "bone with a hole" in Italian, refers to the shank crosscut that includes a section of marrow bone surrounded by tender meat.
As it cooks, the marrow melts into the dish, infusing it with a rich, buttery flavor that enhances sauces and broths.
This cut is a staple in traditional slow-cooking recipes like braised Osso Bucco and hearty soups.
