Osso Bucco
Tender melt in your mouth Osso Bucco in a rich gravy and fresh vegetables
Serving: 3
Ingredients
- 1 - 1.5kg of beautiful thick pieces of Osso Bucco (see notes)
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 carrots, thick sliced
- 2 stalks celery, thick sliced
- 1 - 1.5 cups of sweet potato, chunky diced
- 1/4 cup plain flour
- 2 tsp dry beef stock powder
- 2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 Tblsp gravy powder (I use rich meat flavour)
- 1.5 cups tomato passata (see notes)
- 1/2 cup red wine (I used non-alcoholic shiraz)
- 1 Tblsp minced garlic
- 2 Tblsp fresh parsley chopped (or 2tsp dried)
- 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 3 bay leaves
- Corn flour slurry to thicken (2Tbsp corn flour with 1Tbsp tap water)
- Optional: Extra fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Add chopped onion, carrot, celery and sweet potato to the slow cooker
- In a large plastic bag combine flour, stock powder, gravy powder and pepper
- Add meat to this bag and toss meat in this combined flour mix to coat
- Lay this floured Osso Bucco over the vegetables already in the slow cooker
- Combine passata, red wine, & garlic and pour over
- Scatter with fresh parsley, bay leaves and fresh rosemary
- Cook on high for 2.5hrs then low for 4.5hrs
- I gently turned the meat over at around half way through cooking time
- Alternatively, this could also cook for 9hrs on low
- After cooking time is over, remove and discard the bay leaves and rosemary sprigs. Scoop any fat that has pooled on top of dish and discard.
- Gently remove meat and veg to a covered plate to keep warm while you transfer the cooking liquids to a saucepan. Add a cornflour slurry to thicken over high heat in approx 5mins while stirring continuously as it thickens
- Spoon vegetables into serving bowl, place Osso Bucco on top of veg, then pour over sauce.
- Garnish with a little extra fresh parsley to serve
Notes
- I used 3 large slices of Osso Bucco but this number can be varied to suit your family's needs.
- If you don't have passata you could swap this for crushed tomatoes (but passata gives better result)
- I use non-alcoholic wine, but you can use regular wine if you prefer, any red wine you love will work
- You could skip thickening if you prefer and use sauce as is.
- I cooked this in a 6L slow cooker

I really love the sound of this recipe for Osso bucco can’t wait to try it thankyou
What a delicious recipe. I didn’t thicken the sauce as it didn’t need it, empty plates all round!
So delicious. I used gravy beef & it worked perfectly with enough for 4 meals + enough leftover for filling for pies.
Absolutely loved this recipe.
Loved this! My son gave it 80 out of 80 ?
I browned the meat first and excluded the red wine, but replaced it with a cup of water and a touch extra beef stock.
can I replace the alcohol with beef stock ?? much appreciated thank you ???
Yes or you can just leave it out Maria that would be ok too 🙂
This is a winner meal. Not too salty, perfectly cooked, melt in the mouth meat that fell of the bone clean. This will be a repeat meal ? ???
Ab-so-lutely beautiful! Didn’t thicken sauce as I didn’t think it needed it. Served with boiled potatoes and a crack of pepper. Will definitely make again.

Was absolutely delicious. Husband went back for seconds, was hoping for leftovers.
l didn’t add the sweet potato or celery as didn’t have in the fridge. l was going to cook some broccoli, however didn’t need as the portions were plentiful.
Didn’t need to thicken sauce.
Served on a bed of mashed potatoes and pumpkin.
Awww thank you so much for that wonderful feedback Jennifer!
Yum Yum Yum!
I made this for the first time today. I love the flavours of the sauce. Really Banging!
Great recipe! I added a few tablespoons of gravy powder at the end to thicken up. Will definitely make this again it was so good.
What a wonderful review! Thanks WP 🙂
The taste was very nice, didn’t have sweet potato so used normal.Turned the meat over at half way also. Checked at the 9 hour mark on low and felt it needed more time. 10.5 hours on low and it was done to perfection, no need to thicken,sauce was fine.Unfortunately it didn’t feel the hotest, think I may need a new SC. Anyway still have another meal left so will reheat and hopefully will taste even nicer.
Hope your slow cooker is ok Fay!
