How to Cook Beef Shank, Old Fashioned Southern cooking

Rendered Beef Shank is better than Oxtail! Why plenty of fat with more meat to eat! We wanted to make this for the Judges on Family Food Fight but when we got in the kitchen they substituted it for Beef Short Ribs! It was disappointing. Why? Because the Shank is larger and cooks up quicker than the short ribs and we only had 2 hours! We pressure cooked the meat on the show but it is best to cook it low and slow. Just watch this tutorial and you can use this recipe for other cuts of beef as well! Scroll to end of this description for a recipe! This is not in the Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 Cookbooks! It will be in Volume 3 when it becomes available.

DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking? When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook. My mama was an amazing cook as well, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen.
I have made it so easy for you to learn how to cook like my granny and mama did with cooking tutorials for each and every recipe in our cookbooks. You can see how to order these by visiting us on our website. Oh and no difficult to find or crazy ingredients! Just simple ingredients and really good food.
I am a southern girl born in raised in Collard Valley in Polk County Georgia. We went to church on Sunday, school during the week, the grocery store on Friday’s and that was our life. No vacations, no camping, just plain old southern country people
NOW FOR THIS FAMILY RECIPE:

Beef Shanks

2 OR 3 LARGE, MEATY BEEF SHANKS
OLIVE OR VEGETABLE OIL
KOSHER SALT & BLACK PEPPER
2 SPRINGS OF FRESH ROSEMARY (OR 1 TSP. DRIED)
2 SPRIGS OF FRESH SAGE (OR 1/2 TSP. DRIED)
1 RED BELL PEPPER (SLICED)
1 LARGE ONION (QUARTERED)
2 LARGE CARROTS (PEELED AND CHOPPED)
1 STALK OF CELERY (CHOPPED)

Take the shanks out of the refrigerator for an hour before cooking. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
Preheat a large stock pot on high heat, then add oil and brown the shanks on both sides. Then, add vegetables and spices and cover with water. Put a lid on the pot and simmer for a minimum of 2 hours.
After simmering, remove shanks and pour the broth through a strainer. Set aside the large chunks of vegetables. Place the shank in a braising pan or another large-bottom stock pot. Do not overcrowd the shanks. Pour half of the broth onto the shanks and turn the heat to medium/high. Boil with lid on until all the broth has evaporated, and you are left with a sticky gravy. Flip meat over, pour in the rest of the broth and repeat until all stock has cooked off the meat. Now you are ready to eat up this delicious rendered beef!
