Saw this beef shank on sale, so decided to do a braise. 7 hours later this was on my gf's plate, second is minešŸ˜…

The braise is 65% semi-dry red wine, 35% stock. I also made it with a mirepoix, half of which was blended at the end to incorporate into the braise afterwards. The braise was reduced and finished with butter to make a demi-glace.

The mashed potatoes were made with parm and truffle butter.

Sadly ran out of greens for decorating, which I noticed only when plating šŸ™

  1. Looks good my dude. Although the carrot/broccoli pattern screams 1982 Sunset Magazine cover.

    « Truffle ButterĀ Ā» always messes with my head. Because I’m a secretly a disgusting pervert freak which is not a crime unless you do something. I’m allowed to think about anything I want they cannot control our thoughts yet. Or I just spent too much time on urban dictionary

    Love the presentation on her plate, I’d be eating the marrow with everything else. Beautiful.

    This looks amazing! I’m just a lurker on this sub, but how do you get that sauce so dark, clean and thick?

    I’ll take ā€œdishes I made for my girlfriend that didn’t get me laid afterwardsā€ for $500, Alex. Ā Not because it wasn’t delicious but no chick is giving it up with 2 pounds of mash, gravy and shank in their gut.
