Rub the beef shanks with salt and black pepper, then lightly coat them in flour.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pot and sear the shanks for 8 minutes, until browned on both sides.
Dice the yellow onion, carrot, celery stalks, and garlic small.
Soften the vegetables in the same pot for 7 minutes.
Add the white wine and boil for 4 minutes, scraping up the flavor from the bottom of the pot.
Add the meat stock, tomato puree, and bay leaf, then place the shanks back in the pot.
Cook the ossobuco with the lid slightly ajar over low heat for 110 minutes.
Mix the parsley and lemon zest, then sprinkle the gremolata over the hot meat.
💡 Tip: Tying the shanks with butcher's twine helps them hold together; asking the butcher for 4 cm thick slices is safer for a home pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ossobuco with saffron rice or optional plain mashed potatoes, adding the gremolata at the last moment.
