Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb Shanks

    Season the lamb shanks with salt and black pepper on all sides. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to prepare for cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Lamb Shanks

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb shanks and sear them until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the shanks and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 5

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

  4. 6

    Add Stock and Herbs

    Add the beef or lamb stock, fresh rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Stir to combine.

  5. 7

    Return Lamb Shanks

    Return the seared lamb shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 8

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the lamb shanks to cook slowly for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
