Ossobuco is a delicious stewed beef prepared according to an Italian recipe. Ossobuco means "hollow bone" in translation. The dish is based on beef shanks with the marrow bone. The meat is stewed for two hours in a white wine sauce with vegetables. The result is a magnificent roast beef, worthy of being included in a banquet menu. The meat becomes very soft and practically melts in your mouth. For cooking, choose fresh beef of a bright red color without spots or foreign odors.

Prepare the meat. Cut the beef shanks into steaks, each at least 4 cm thick. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg. Pour the flour into a plate. Roll the meat in flour. Fry the beef steaks in a mixture of butter and olive oil over high heat. The meat should brown. Remove the meat from the pan and cover with a lid.
