This was so good...I had to make it again for the Mrs. before I hit the road again recently. I used a little M-3 and W.O.W - and used Giada DeLaurentis' recipe...

Gene - I was looking at beef shanks last friday while at my butcher's…and thinking….I wonder how M-3 would do on those…? It looks good…I sure hope it tasted 1/2 as good as it looks!

No doubt,those shanks pack a lot of flavor,beautiful cook Gene.

Thanks folks!

Spuds: Those are 28 day dry aged shanks. See the size of the "hollow" in he bones? Just more marrow to enrich he broth ( garlic, dry white wine, bouquet garni, chicken broth, etc..)

I like a  lot of a rustic gremolata - so that is why the mint and parsley leaves and lemon zest are really pronounced on this.

Yep...the collagens in all of that thickened skin and the joints seem to break down and thicken the soup as well as carry all of the nice savory flavors

Thnaks Spuds!

Those orange things had been cooked for hours in white wine, garlic, and chicken broth....Even a carrot hater will like 'em

Great looking Osso Bucco, I love Ossu Bucco.

It's been wintery cold of late so I've been hungry for those meals that make you feel warm inside. Osso Bucco fits the bill, but couldn't find veal shanks, so beef will have to do. I wanted to incorporate Tee's not-so-secret, secret marinade & rub M3. Last night I made an M3 marinade according to Tee's kind instructions, but because this is a classical Italian dish I added 2 tsp. of dried oregano, and tossed the shanks in for a good overnight swim. This afternoon pulled them out of the wonderful marinade, dried them off, and commenced to browning them in my cast iron Dutch oven. On with the show.....   
ps  the marinade worked wonders, I got a slap on the rear for my hard work! 

Hey Gene - whose recipe did you use? Old family recipe...? I like the ratio of veggies to meat with yours! - and...how was the flavor profile of everything?
Thanks
