3 cross-cut beef shanks. Score the membrane with a knife. Before cooking, rinse the meat and pat it dry with paper towels. Salt. Black pepper. One more important step — the meat should be at room temperature. Leave it out on the counter for a couple of hours before cooking. Friends, stick around until the end — today I’m making a special recipe, time-tested and so good. Tender, juicy meat with potatoes and sauce. Salt. Black pepper. Rub the spices into the meat. Vegetable oil. 1 oz / 2 tbsp butter. 1 tbsp flour. Sear for about 5 minutes. Flip to the other side. Sear for another 5 minutes. Searing helps create a crust and seal the juices inside. 4 small onions. Cut them into large chunks. Sauté the onions in the same oil used for the meat. 2–3 garlic cloves. You can just smash them, but I like to chop them a little. Add the garlic to the onions. 3 carrots. Sauté the carrots. 3 celery stalks. Celery gives the dish a wonderful aroma. 4 tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes. You can peel them if you want. I don’t peel them — during cooking, the skin falls off on its own, and it doesn’t bother us. Black pepper. I don’t add salt to the vegetables — you’ll see why in a moment. 2–3 bay leaves. I break them apart so the aroma spreads evenly throughout the dish. Simmer for 5 minutes. 17 oz / 2 cups boiling water. 1–1.5 tsp concentrated bouillon paste. This bouillon already contains salt, that’s why I didn’t add any to the vegetables. 1 cup red wine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. In a deep baking dish, spread out the sautéed vegetables and pour in the broth. Now place the seared steaks on top. 10 oz / 300 g mushrooms. I love mushrooms in any form, so I always add them. If you don’t like mushrooms, you can skip this step. A bunch of cilantro or parsley. A few sprigs of rosemary. Cover tightly with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 360°F / 180°C for 2 hours. 6–8 potatoes. We’ll make the most delicious mashed potatoes. Add salt. Look how tender the meat is — it just falls off the bone. And the aroma is amazing! I’ll take out the mushrooms and a few carrots — they’ll make a nice garnish. Strain the broth through a colander. We’ll make the most flavorful sauce! Press the vegetables through the colander — this way, the puree mixes with the broth, making it richer and more delicious. 3.5 oz / ½ cup heavy cream. Let it simmer for 5–10 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add 1 tbsp cornstarch. The potatoes are cooked. Drain the water. 1 oz / 2 tbsp butter. 3.5 oz / ½ cup heavy cream. A bunch of cilantro or parsley. Cilantro is more aromatic, but parsley works great too. Chop the fresh herbs. My grandma also added fresh dill — it’s really tasty. Add the herbs to the potatoes. Mix well! Look at this creamy sauce — rich, aromatic, and so tasty. The meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. I love plenty of sauce, so I’ll pour more over the meat. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
