- In a heavy based roasting tray over a medium high heat sear the beef in a little olive oil on both sides, remove from the tray & cook the shallots, garlic & carrot until caramelised.
- Add the tomato paste & red wine & reduce to syrup then pour over the stock, bring to a boil & thicken with the corn flour mix before placing the beef back in the tray.
- Place in the oven covered & slow cook for 2½ to 3 hours, basting regularly with the stock until the beef is tender.
- Remove the beef from the stock, place on a warmed deep serving dish & cover with foil to keep warm.
- Pass the stock into a clean saucepan, reduce until you reach a rich sauce like consistency, add the diced tomato & pass the sauce back over the beef.
- For the gremolata simply mix the ingredients together & keep to one side.
- To cook the pasta bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil, add the pasta & cook for 4 to 5 minutes, drain & toss with a little olive oil.
- Serve the osso bucco with the Pappardelle and generously sprinkle over the gremolata. Enjoy with a glass of Chianti.
