Assumimg the Brazen Bull was a thing and that it was Greek, it wouldn't have been used for offerings.  The Greeks did their burnt offerings on an open altar outside the appropriate temple.  There's no record (or reason to believe) that they did it inside a metal bull.

A second detailed mention of the calf's incident in the Quran says:


Quote:Sura 20, The Quran:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh

( 94 )   [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' "
( 95 )   [Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?"
( 96 )   He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me."
( 97 )   [Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast.


Samiri was the person responsible for the calf.
While so many scholars say that the messenger is "Gabriel the angel"; I believe the messenger is Moses -peace be upon him- himself.

In other words; Samiri saw Moses leaving and took the dust from his track then applied it to the calf's material.

Ironically, so many people still use this method to gain blessings.
