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.
