So I really want to do something special for my husband, he's been watching lots of these videos where people make bone marrow and beef stock with the leftovers. I know I can Google it, but I'd love some real people's recipes to go through! I've never cooked this cut, or really anything bone in before besides ribs so I wanna get it right!

You’re gonna want to sear and braise it.
Joining because I’d like to know too
Meat butter
Coming in with the obvious comment that osso buco works with beef as well as veal, but I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts. Osso buco is just so good I haven’t tried anything else with this cut.
Search up “Osso Bucco”
Typically it’s veal shanks…but the cooking method and process can be applied to beef shanks (99% the same thing…but let’s not argue over semantics)
Longish braise. Not super cookware dependant. Prep time is not very time consuming. The marrow can be incorporated in the braising liquid for a luxurious sauce (after reduction) Have had over done this part where it was almost too rich 😅
I have served this application over risotto, mash potatoes, basic steamed white rice.
Good luck and enjoy!!!
Braised or cut most of the meat free make a stock from the bones add meat back with fresh vegetables for a nice soup.
Beef and lentils also comes to mind.
Smoke , braise or stew them ! Throw a hearty veggie mix , some beef stock and aromatics in and you’ll have a great meal . Add some rice and you’re in business !
Eat it you coward.
Me over here giggling at the “bone in hand” labeling. I don’t know if that’s standard elsewhere, but I’ve never seen that in any of the stores / butcher shops I go to.
Blorg would recommend osso bucu style 👍
Be careful with the amount of fat that will come off of ox tail, there’s loads…
remove marrow, melt marrow on some veggie oil, dust salted shanks in flour and brown, set aside. saute onions, carrots, celery, add shanks, diced tomatoes, red wine, beef stock, some herbs, salt and pepper. braise for 2 – 3 hours until tender. serve over your favorite side. 🍽️
