Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onions and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Brown the beef shank

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add the smoked beef shank and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.

  2. 3

    Add vegetables

    Once the beef is browned, add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  3. 4

    Combine liquids and seasonings

    Pour in the beef broth and water to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 5

    Simmer the stew

    Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the stew

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the smoked beef stew into bowls and enjoy hot.
