About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 piece beef shank
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 slice pancetta
- 1 carrot
- 1 celery
- 1 onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cup beef stock
- to taste Maldon salt
- to taste fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- 1Season the beef shank pieces generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
- 2Heat a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium‑high heat, add a thin drizzle of oil, and sear the beef shank pieces until deeply browned on every side, about 3‑4 minutes per side; set aside.
- 3Add the pancetta slices to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their fat and become lightly crisp, about 2 minutes.
- 4Add the diced carrot, celery, onion, and minced garlic to the pot; sauté, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent, about 5‑6 minutes.
- 5Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to caramelize and deepen in flavor.
- 6Pour in the red wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot; bring to a gentle boil and reduce the wine by half, about 3‑4 minutes.
- 7Return the browned beef shank pieces to the pot, then add the beef stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- 8Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and braise for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is fork‑tender and the sauce has thickened.
- 9Remove the beef shank pieces and keep them warm on a low‑heat setting; increase the heat and reduce the sauce further if a thicker consistency is desired, about 5‑10 minutes.
- 10Return the beef to the pot, coat with the reduced sauce, and let rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- 11Finish the dish by seasoning with flaky Maldon salt and freshly cracked black pepper just before serving.
