Tonights dinner will be Beef shanks on mashed potatoes.
I HATE FOOD TV!! Before foodtv you could by all the best cuts of meat, brisket, beef short ribs, shanks, hamhocks, and round steak, for next to nothing. Now food tv let the secret out of the bag and now instead of 99 cents a pound for thin cut round steak it is $4.99. Instead of 99 cents per pound for short ribs, they are now $3.99. You get the picture.
Started cooking these at 1 today.
Salt, Pepper, and lightly floured
Brown shanks in a little oil
Carrots, Onion, Garlic, Mushrooms, celery, Rosemary, Bay leaf,
Remove browned shanks from pan and add Veggies and spices and brown
Deglaze pan with red wine make sure you get all the brown bits from the bottom. Use a red wine or burgundy that you would drink. Don't buy junk. I prefer Bolla Valpolacella
Deglaze
Add 2 cups beef stock and return shanks to pot. I threw in some whole mushrooms.
Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to very low. Or place in the oven at 225. 4-5 hours. Serve on potatoes or polenta or noodles.
