Beef Osso Buco (approx. 2 lb)

Slow cooking at its best. From HighMark Beef Co., a 5th-generation Texas ranching family raising pasture-based cattle with intention from start to finish, these cross-cut shanks come from animals that are pasture-raised, grass-fed, and grain-finished for the right balance of flavor and tenderness. This is a cut that rewards patience, deep, rich, and built for slow transformation.

What makes it different
Osso buco relies on quality from the start. The balance of meat, bone, and connective tissue is what creates its signature texture and flavor. HighMark selects cattle for consistency and marbling, ensuring each cut has the structure and richness needed to break down beautifully over time.  Their hands-on approach (from pasture management to finishing) means better cattle, and ultimately, better results in the kitchen.

How it cooks (and why it matters)
Low and slow is everything here. As it braises, the meat becomes tender, the collagen melts into the sauce, and the marrow softens into something rich and velvety. It’s the kind of dish that fills your kitchen, builds over time, and delivers in a way quick meals just don’t.

How we love to use it
Classic osso buco with herbs and aromatics, served over risotto or mashed potatoes, or any slow-braised dish where depth of flavor is the goal. This is the kind of meal you plan for, and remember.
