Cooking Directions
-
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
-
Add beef shank to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Return onion and garlic to the pan, and sprinkle thyme, oregano, rosemary, and marjoram over beef. Add tomatoes and tomato paste.
-
Pour water into the tomato paste can; swirl to remove any extra tomato paste, and add to the saucepan. Stir in lemon zest, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Cook’s Notes:
Instead of canned tomatoes, you can use four blanched, peeled, and diced fresh tomatoes.
During the last few minutes of cooking in Step 3, you can add your favorite vegetable. I like to add spinach, although it does get a bit soggy.
