3 beef shanks (approximately 1.5 pounds each)

Kitchen twine

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

4 Tablespoons olive oil (divided)

1 large onion, chopped

2 large carrots, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes

2 cups beef broth

1 cup dry white wine

2 bay leaves

Istruzioni

Preheat your oven to 325°F.

Tie each beef shank with kitchen twine to help maintain its shape during cooking. Then use a paper towel to dry the beef shanks before dredging. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on both sides of the beef shanks.

To a shallow dish add the flour. Dredge each beef shank in flour, shaking off any excess, then set aside.

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef shanks for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they develop a nice brown crust. Remove the beef shanks from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add the remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme leaves to the pot, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, white wine, and bay leaves, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

Return the beef shanks to the pot, nestling them among the vegetables. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef shanks are fork-tender.

Carefully remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Remove and discard the kitchen twine and bay leaves. Serve the beef shanks with the vegetables and sauce, alongside your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
