Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with the world's best steak restaurant El Capricho for the limited supply of selected ox beef cuts now available at Basco. Taken from the ox shanks, Osso Buco literally means 'bone with a hole' in Italian and is famous for the Milanese slow cooking dish of the same name. The cut is ideal for braising, with the bone rich in marrow providing flavour and the meat promising melting tenderness. Sourced exclusively from El Capricho restaurant in Leon from Iberian ox beef herds reared at their own natural pace, on lush pastures to their full maturity. A cut increasingly appearing on restaurant menus as the delicious qualities of this cut become more recognised. Osso Buco the dish is typically made with veal shanks, but the ox beef alternative offers far more robust flavours as well as outstanding tenderness. Be sure to consult our recipe for tips, and serve with risotto made with saffron, and gratings.

I actually have not eaten it yet but just cooked it yesterday and nipped off pieces while cooking. It may take 8 to 9 hours to cook it until it is melt in your mouth but it is worth it. I used my new Spanish flour from Basco to dredge it in, seared it on all sides and then simmered in Freja bone broth with a little red wine, a touch of tomatoe paste, onions, carrot, and celery and some herbs. Will serve it up this evening with some polenta.
