What is Beef Shank?
Beef shank is from the leg of a cow so it is the perfect cut for Instant Pot Osso Buco. As you can imagine, cow legs get exercised a fair bit, so the meat is very tough and has a lot of sinew. It is particularly tasty because of this connective tissue; when cooked thoroughly, it has a delectable texture.
Making Osso Bucco in an Instant Pot
If you have an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker, making osso buco is pretty easy. The combination of pressure and heat turns hard, crunchy beef shank into heavenly, melt-in-your-mouth magic.
🍳Recommended Equipment
- Instant Pot or pressure cooker (if you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can simmer in a dutch oven/stock pot for 3-4 hours instead)
- Another smaller pot for polenta
