Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 3 pounds beef shanks cut into pieces of 3 to 4 inches
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1/2 Large white onion (sliced into rings)
  • 1 540 milliliter can of diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Beef stock
  • 2 medium Carrots (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Dry white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • The beef shanks may be dredged in flour and coated if you wish. The carbs are lower if I skip this. 
  • Butter should be melted over medium-high heat in a large oven-safe braising pan. 
  • Until the outside of the beef shank is browned, fry it in butter.
  • The beef shanks should be placed on a plate and kept warm. 
  • The onion slices should be added to the skillet; cook and stir until they are tender.  Garlic and carrots should be added and fried until fragrant. 
  • The white wine should be poured into the pan at this point to deglaze the pan. The beef broth and tomatoes should be stirred together. 
  • Make sure the sauce covers the beef shanks before returning it to the pan. 
  • In order to achieve tender meat, you should cook the shanks in a 300 °F oven for 4-5 hours until they fall off the bone. 
  • Simmer the mixture on the stovetop over low heat for 2-3 hours. To prevent the meat from burning, you should check the meat occasionally and move it around if necessary.
