    Beef Shanks flavored with Pacifico beer. I love the traditional Osso bucco milanese but wanted to experiment. I enjoyed Guiness stew while visiting Ireland and also wanted the convenience of a slow cooker. I had Pacifico beer at home and hence Osso Bucco Pacifico was born. I served this with couscous and a medley of vegetables glazed with balsalmic vinegar and ponzu sauce.

    Ingredients

    • 2 large beef shanks cut 1 1/2 inch per slice
    • 1 1/2 lbs of tri tip beef cut in 1 1/2 inch pieces
    • 1/2 cup of flour
    • 1/2 cup of diced carrots
    • 1/2 cup of diced celery
    • 1/3 cup of purple onions diced
    • about 4-5 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 cup of chicken broth low salt
    • 1 1/3 cups of Pacifico beer
    • 1 teaspoon thyme
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons Herbes d'Provence
    • Pinch of Salt and pepper to taste
    • Freshly ground pepper
    • 1 teaspoon of corn starch
    • Optional: Gremolata is added in the last 1/2 hour. This consists of 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind, 1/2 teaspoon orange rind and 1/2 cup chopped parsley.

    Directions

    1. 1. Season flour with salt and pepper and put inside a gallon freezer bag. Put the beef shanks inside the bag and shake until coated, then place in a reserved plate. Do the same with the beef pieces.
    2. 2. Pour olive oil in a frying pan and brown the beef shanks and beef, turning halfway. Place the browned beef and shanks in a 6 quart slow cooker.
    3. 3. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onions to the frying pan and saute until softened. Season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables to the slow cooker.
    4. 4. Pour the chicken broth and Pacifico beer. Add the tomato paste, soy sauce, sugar, thyme, and Herbes d'Provence. Sprinkle with pinch of salt and ground pepper.
    5. 5. Simmer on high for 4 hours and check. If there is still a lot of liquid, take out about 3/4 cup of broth and discard. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. To thicken the broth, use 1 teaspoon of corn starch mixed with a tablespoon of the broth and add this to the slow cooker.
    6. 6. Lower the heat to low and simmer for another 1/2 hour.
    7. 7. Serve with couscous and vegetables
