Better Belly Blueprint Recipes – Instant Pot Osso Buco Stew –

Instant Pot Osso Buco is made from beef shank with marrow bone that is cooked at high pressure in an Instant Pot for an hour. All the tough connective tissue eventually melts into a flavorful, rich broth. And the meat is rendered tender. The result is a “fall off the bone” meat stew that is amazing.

My recipe is tweaked to fit my requirements for a delicious Carnivore stew. But I have included “optional ingredients” that adds flavor but deviates off the strict carnivore diet program.

The “optional ingredients” include some spices, an onion, and a little balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

Beef shank (about 3 pounds)

Himalayan Salt
White pepper
4 tablespoons of Ghee
1 large onion – chopped
Garlic powder (optional)
Rosemary (optional)
Oregano (optional)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)
2 cups beef bone broth

Preparation

Dry the beef shanks with a paper towel
Season the beef shank with salt and while pepper to taste
Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté” and wait for it to signal “Hot”
Place about 4 tablespoons of ghee in the Instant Pot
Sear the meat on both sides (about 3 minutes per side)
Remove the meat and set aside for later
Add onion into the pot with the Ghee (add additional Ghee if necessary) and cook until onion is soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes)
Mix in garlic powder, rosemary, and oregano
Pour in balsamic vinegar, cook until the balsamic vinegar is reduced to at least half, and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits off the side of the pot
Add beef bone broth and stir
Add the seared beef shanks back into the pot
Select “Pressure Cook” on the Instant Pot Panel
Select “High Pressure” on the Instant Pot Panel and cook for 60 minutes
Plate and serve as a delicious meat stew
