Step by step

Flavour the shank with garlic and herbs

Tips
This main course can be accompanied with the same beer you used for cooking the shank. Or match it with a robust red wine.
Trivia
The shank is a cut of meat rich in connective tissue which needs long, slow cooking, whether in the oven or on the hob. One also makes ‘ossobuco’ from this part of the animal, cutting across the bone.
