ingredients

OSSO BUCO
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 lb thick-cut bacon cut into lardons
  • 8 bone-in beef short ribs patted dry with a paper towel
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 onion diced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 2 medium carrots diced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 celery stalk diced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 2/3 cup dry red wine
  • ½ cup beef stock
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes drained
GREMOLATA
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Pinch of kosher salt plus more as needed

instructions

  • Tie together thyme and rosemary with twine and set aside.
  • Set Instant Pot Max to Saute. Once hot, add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon from Instant Pot and save for later use.
  • Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Add short ribs in batches, searing on all sides. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Remove short ribs to a plate and set aside.
  • Unplug the Instant Pot to cool slightly, about 3 minutes. While Instant Pot is cool, melt butter and stir in onions, carrots and celery.
  • Turn Instant Pot back on to Sauté. Cook vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste.
  • Add wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom. Stir in stock and tomatoes. Nestle meat back into the pot.
  • Add herb bundle, cover, and cook on High pressure for 40 minutes. Naturally release pressure.
  • Remove meat and simmer sauce on Sauté until reduced, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • While sauce is reducing, stir together ingredients for gremolata in a small bowl.
  • Serve short ribs with sauce spooned on top. Sprinkle with gremolata.
