Think chuck steak, gravy beef (also known as beef shin, or Osso Bucco when sold with the bone in), and beef short ribs. These cuts are best saved for the slow cooker and not the pan or grill.

Place the osso bucco in a saucepan with plenty of cold water and boil gently, skimming the surface as needed (about 30 mins). Add one diced carrot, the thick parts of the celery and the onion.
