Instant Pot Osso Buco

Instant Pot Osso Buco is so easy compared to a low and slow cooking process in the oven or on the stove. Made in the pressure cooker, these turn out equally delish as the traditional dish cooked slow on the stove or in the oven and show off just how versatile veal can be. If you are craving some serious comfort food, this recipe is perfect. Osso Buco Shanks are braised in a bold tomato sauce until they are tender and falling apart.
