Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cut beef stew meat instead of beef shank. If using beef stew meat, reduce the cooking time to 1-1.5 hours. You can also make this recipe in a slow cooker by searing the beef and sautéing the vegetables in a pan first, then transferring everything to a slow cooker and cooking on low for 6-8 hours.
