Dredge the beef shanks in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper. Make two to three small cuts in the outer membrane to prevent curling during cooking.
While tying the shanks is an option, these slits are more effective for avoiding twisting.
Sear the shanks in a hot pan until they turn golden brown.
Deglaze the pan with red wine, reducing the liquid. Set this wine reduction aside.
Sauté vegetables until tender, then add garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and crushed tomatoes.
Return the seared shanks to the pot. Pour in the wine reduction and beef stock.
Simmer gently, covered, for 2 to 4 hours until the osso buco is tender and cooked through.
To enhance the flavor, strain the sauce and continue braising the shanks uncovered until the sauce thickens.
Allow the shanks to rest. Strain the sauce again and whisk in butter to create a smooth, glossy glaze.
