Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon regular olive oil
  • 2 bone-in beed shanks
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into ½-inch thick pieces
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken or beef broth
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Dry the beef shanks with paper towels and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large Dutch Oven. Sear the beef in the hot oil until each side is brown. Remove the seared beef to a large plate.
  3. Add the veggies. Cook for about 10 minutes until they are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  4. Add the tomato paste and stir everything together.
  5. Add the white wine, about ¼ cup.
  6. Add the seared beef back into the pot. Add the chicken or beef broth.
  7. Add 2 teaspoons of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat and cover with a lid for 1 or 1.5 hours on the stove. The beef shanks should be tender and fall off the bones when they are ready. Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, butternut squash or crusty bread.
