My husband loves getting taken out to lunch at a local Syracuse Italian restaurant. Their specialty used to be osso bucco which they no longer carry on the menu. He asked me if I would be able to add it to our regular dinner menu at home. I found a recipe that calls for the use of a crockpot which is crucial since it needs to cook down for most of a day. In his experience, he had veal shank which was pricier and harder to find so I used a beef crosscut shank, bone-in. The prep work really wasn't that hard it just takes a while to cook. Be sure to keep the slow cooker low enough that it won't burn or dry out. The meat is done when it falls apart and the bone drops out; it will melt in your mouth! The fresh gremolata to top off the dish is an absolute must, as well as either pasta or a nice crusty bread to sop up the juices.
