As winter kicks in my new found obsession with braised meats only seems to intensify. The italian conversation ender on this topic is osso bucco. I can’t seem to think of anything funny to say about slow cooking a baby cow’s leg. Rice isn’t funny for an entirely different reason. Cute over boring, it’s all a treat though, eat it up.
This recipe is so easy it may actually be cheating. Now, ingredients are important, the better those are the better the results. For instance, you might think the honey you’ve been eating out of a teddy bear is real honey. Well that honey has been lying to you. The North American market has been pasteurizing honey for no actual reason. Well, no health reason anyway. Unpasteurized honey tastes better, and contains enzymes that are good for you. Fact.

A dish often destroyed by very white fathers, cooking the meat until all that can be tasted is the fine leather coat that was sold to a much richer friend. This dish is crafted with the most medium rare of steaks, and topped with a nearly bruschetta like salsa. I don’t remember where the thought of this combination came, but I can only assume it was stolen from either Jesus or some restaurant.
