Steps
First, make small cuts along the edges of the meat to prevent it from curling during cooking. You can also have your trusted butcher do this step. Then, coat the ossobuco in flour and shake off the excess.
Brown them in the open pot with butter on both sides over medium heat. Then deglaze with white wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Next, add the milk, adjust with salt and pepper, and close the pot.
Bring it to high pressure, and from the first whistle, cook for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is over, gradually release the steam and open the pot. Remove the meat and keep it aside, covered and warm.
Blend the cooking sauce with an immersion blender. Then put the pot back on the heat and let it dry for a few minutes over medium heat. Add the ossobuco again and toss them in the sauce for a few moments.
The milk-braised ossobuco is ready! Prepare plenty of bread for mopping up and serve.
