1 (5-pound) beef shank, trimmed of all fat
4 (750 ml) bottles red wine

Sprigs thyme, cilantro, tarragon, and parsley
3 onions, medium chopped

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.
