Ossobucco Calf Leg Steaks

I would like to share with you a very tasty meat recipe.
I do not have much experience in the kitchen so I just wrote everything that I saw.
The amount of meat and ingredients would depend on how many persons you are cooking for.
Just estimate the ingredients. Do not put too much. (I know it's not that exact but I always believe that a good cook can find his way in the kitchen no matter what).


Here goes.




Ossobucco
(bein sheiben vom Kalb)






4 pieces calf leg steaks 
Spices except dill (the normal kitchen spices. You can be imaginative and put in everything that sounds nice)
Pepper and salt
Thick Thread (to bind the meat)
White wein
Water or vegetable brew (for the brew you can use any clear soup mix,do not use the cream based ones)
Slivered Carrots
Celery stalks slivered
Onions 4 bulbs chopped
Garlic  4 small parts
Vegetable Oil for frying (or any oil)
Champignons 5-10 pieces
Maggi sauce (not too much)




Procedure:


(Do all the pre-cooking procedures : washing meat and vegetables, drying,slicing,etc.)






Bind the calf legs with thread. Just around the middle part so that the flesh will not bulge out and separate from the bone when fried.




 
Pepper and salt the meat and fry in hot oil.




Fry both sides for a short time only until both sides loose the red color (approx. 1 minute pro side)
This is important to close the meat pores so that the meat juice will remain inside when being baked.





Arrange meat on a baking tray, making sure to leave spaces in between.






















 
All the vegetables sliced and placed on a tray with all the meat. Only on the sides, not on top of the meat.







Pour in water or vegetable brew and wein. Add extra spices( anything you can find in your kitchen except dill)





Bake 180 celsius-200 celsius for  1 hour and a half. Approx. 45 minutes on each side.
Do not let it dry. Pour a bit of  brew  every now and then or scoop the meat juice on the baking tray and pour on the meat tops.





Finished when it is soft and tight.
Soft like the outer third part of palm of your hand  when made into a fist.


Serve with Italian bread or fried potatoes.
