This beef shank recipe is easy and delicious. I went to the grocery store, and beef shanks were on sale, so I brought them home, and this was the result. For the brave, the marrow in the bones is quite good.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds beef shank
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup Marsala wine
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
1 cup water, or as needed
2 tablespoons dried tarragon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof deep skillet with a lid over medium-high heat.
Season beef shank with salt and pepper. Cook beef shank in hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer beef shank to a plate.
Sauté onion and celery in the same skillet until onion turns translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Place beef shank into onion-wine mixture; add beef broth and pour in enough water to cover 1/2 to 3/4 of the beef shank. Sprinkle tarragon over shank; cover the skillet with a lid.
Bake in the preheated oven until meat falls off the bone, about 5 hours. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Tips

This is a very flexible recipe. You can use different meats, wines, or spices. Including potatoes or carrots would be good too.

For an extra kick, throw in some Grill Mates Montreal steak seasoning.
