Browned beef shanks

To get the rich and deep flavorful ossobuco, you need to properly brown beef shanks. Browned meat is caramelized and giving special aroma to this dish. Also, when meat is browned, you get the taste and meat juices are "trapped" inside and preserved.

After browning the meat, next important step is onion caramelization. You need to sauté onion on lard or olive oil until translucent and golden brown. That is one more step to getting deep and rich flavor of vegetables stew in which meat is cooked.

When onion is translucent and golden brown you can add other veggies, like carrot cut in small cubes, mushrooms and tomatoes with spices.
