Categories     Grains

Time 5h30m

Yield 2 gallons, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large beef shanks
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups carrots (sliced chunky)
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, sliced
2 cups cabbage, chopped
8 cups water
32 ounces beef broth
2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet
1 (12 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, chopped with liquid (or larger)
1 cup okra, frozen slices (I hate okra but it's good in this recipe)
1/2 cup peas (frozen)
1/4 cup corn (frozen)
1/4 cup barley
1 teaspoon basil, dried
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
1 tablespoon chives, snipped (or freeze-dried)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf, whole

Steps:

  • Brown the beef shanks in the olive oil until nice and browned. Add water and cook until the beef falls off of the bone and the marrow is cooked out of the center of the bones, about 3 hours.
  • Strain the broth through several changes of wet paper towels to get rid of the icky little protein globs and fat. Remove meat from the bones, remove the fat and dice the meat.
  • Wash the pot and add a little more olive oil and carrots, onion, celery and cabbage and cook on medium heat until they are beginning to color.
  • Add the meat, stock, broth and the remaining veggies, barley and spices and cook on medium low for a couple of hours. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Taste it to see if you need to adjust the salt or pepper. This holds nicely in a crock pot for hours.

BRAISED BEEF SHANKS



Braised Beef Shanks image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup oil, for frying
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup flour
4 each beef shanks, about 6 ounces each
Salt and black pepper
2 cups medium diced onions
1 cup medium diced celery
1 cup medium diced carrots
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup red wine
2 quarts veal or dark stock
1/4 cup parsley
4 large parsnips, top skin removed and peeled into thin strips

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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds beef shank, with bone
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups beef broth
4 cups water
2 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 potato, quartered
2 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
2 chayotes, quartered
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
¼ cup sliced pickled jalapenos
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, cut into wedges
4 radishes, quartered

Steps:

  • Cut the meat from the beef bones into about 1/2 inch pieces, leaving some on the bones.
  • Heat a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Add the meat and bones, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly browned.
  • Add 1 onion, and cook until onion is also lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes and broth. The liquid should cover the bones by 1/2 inch. If not, add enough water to compensate. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour with the lid on loosely. If meat is not tender, continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so.
  • Pour in the water, and return to a simmer. Add the carrot and 1/4 cup cilantro, and cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the potato, corn and chayote. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Push the cabbage wedges into the soup, and cook for about 10 more minutes.
  • Ladle soup into large bowls, including meat vegetables and bones. Garnish with jalapenos, minced onion, and additional cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over all, and serve with radishes.

Tips for Making Beef Shank Bone Soup:

  • Choose the right beef shank bones: Look for bones that are meaty and have a good amount of marrow. Avoid bones that are too thin or have been cut into small pieces.

  • Add aromatics to the pot: Vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery are classic additions to beef shank bone soup. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 2 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Strain the soup before serving: This will remove any bones or vegetables that may have fallen apart during cooking.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

Beef shank bone soup is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef bones. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make a pot of this flavorful soup at home. Enjoy!
