The Cut of Beef You're Probably Overlooking

Published 7 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I wanted to share this braised beef shanks recipe with you because it's one of those dishes that looks and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen, but it's actually pretty straightforward.

The meat becomes so tender that it literally falls off the bone, and the sauce is rich and savory, with a hint of Caribbean flair from allspice and ginger.

Beef shanks cost about half the price of short ribs or oxtail, so you get that restaurant-quality meal without the restaurant price tag.

Serve these over creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice to soak up all that sauce.

This actually tastes better the next day, making it perfect for meal prep or serving ahead to company.

Happy Cooking,

​

Toss in whatever vegetables are sitting in your fridge, add some beans, and you've got a meal that tastes like it took all day to make. Get this Recipe Happy Cooking, Tanya...
