olive oil

1 tbs

lean veal leg steak

500 g, (buy 1.2kg Osso buco or veal shank)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160˚C fan-forced. Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Season osso buco with salt and pepper. Cook, turning, in 2 batches, for 6–8 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
