Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Broth

In a large pot, add the beef shank and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.

2

Add Aromatics

Once boiling, add the quartered onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 hours.

3

Add Vegetables

After 1.5 hours, add the chopped carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and corn. Continue to simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

4

Serve

Remove the beef shank from the pot, shred the meat from the bone, and return it to the soup. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with rice, chopped cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges, and warm tortillas on the side.
