Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef shank
  • sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cups large onion chopped
  • 4 cups carrots chopped
  • 3 cups celery stalks chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tablespoons umami paste or tomato paste
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 2 teaspoons Herbs de Provence (or substitute a mixture of thyme, oregano, rosemary)
  • 3 cups chopped tomatoes (30 ounces)
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season beef shank pieces with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a large pot and brown beef shank pieces on both sides. Transfer to slow cooker. Add onion, carrots, celery and garlic to pot and saute until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add umami paste and saute another minute. Add red wine, Herbs de Provence and tomatoes; stir to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of the pot.
  2. Transfer everything to slow cooker; cover and cook on high for 6 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Recipe Notes

For extra umami flavor, add some porcini mushrooms, season with soy sauce instead of salt and serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
