BRAISED BEEF SHANK
Steps:
- Shanks: Marinade beef overnight, turning once. Remove beef from marinade, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Sear beef in oil on all sides in hot pan, set meat aside.
- Brown vegetables in same pan as meat. When vegetables are brown, place meat back in pan and cover with marinade. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer in 325 degree F oven until meat is falling off bone, about 5 hours. Drain the meat and reserve the strained liquid.
- When done, place meat in container covered with strained cooking liquid. Let stand overnight in the refrigerator. Remove meat from cooking liquid. Slice 1/2-inch thick. Place in pan.
- Combine 4 cups liquid and demi-glace. Reduce to sauce consistency. Pour sauce over meat and reheat in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
- Serve meat topped with diced glazed carrots and garnish with parsley.
- Serving suggestion: 4 carrots, peeled, diced and glazed, chopped parsley.
BRAISED BEEF SHANKS
Steps:
- Preheat the oil to 350 degrees F in the fryer.
- In a large stock pot or braising pot, add the olive oil. Season the shanks with salt and pepper. Season the flour with Essence. Dredge the shanks in the seasoned flour, coating each side completely. When the oil is hot, sear the shanks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until very brown on all sides. Remove the shanks and set aside. Add the onions to the pan and saute for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the celery and carrots and continue to saute for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic, bay leaves, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping the bottom and sides to loosen the browned particles. Add the stock. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the shanks and continue to cook for about 2 hours, basting the shanks often, or until the sauce is stew-like and the meat starts to fall of the bone. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Place the parsnips in the fryer and fry until golden about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the parsnips from sticking together. Remove the parsnips from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the parsnips with salt and pepper. To serve, mound the pudding in the center of the plate. Lay a few of the shanks on top of the potatoes and spoon some of the gravy over the top. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with the fried parsnips.
BRAISED BEEF SHANKS
This is a variation on a classical osso bucco preparation, using beef instead of veal. Inspired by a recipe in Judith Jones' "The Pleasures of Cooking For One." Risotto would be a reasonably traditional accompaniment.
