Osso Bucco using Beef Shanks by Way of M3
« Reply #-1 on: November 24, 2013, 09:33:18 PM »
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!  ::)

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!

It sure did Tim. I never marinaded shanks before, but I believe I will from now on. The M3 gave them a wonderful robust flavor, and they were spoon- tender to boot! We have to always be willing to change.....and this is proof. Thanks for your advice!

Nice Gene!


The M-3 contains 2 natural ingredients that give it a real boost. One is a true meat tenderizer. The other promotes moisture retention by the meat.

Glad you like it!

I more than like it Tim! It's a great product, as is all of your other rubs. And I know I've said this many times, but it is soooo nice using a rub/marinade/spice blend that is not laden with salt. I can't say enough good things about your products buddy! And the good Lord willin' I'll be using them a long long time!
