Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef shank
- 1 large onion
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the beef shank by trimming excess fat. Season the beef shank with 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef shank until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In the same pot, add the diced onions and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to enhance its flavor.
Step 6
Add the beef shank back to the pot, followed by the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes.
Step 7
Pour in 8 cups of beef broth and 2 cups of water. Stir in bay leaves and thyme.
Step 8
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and can be easily pulled apart.
Step 9
Remove the bay leaves and take out the beef shank. Shred the meat off the bone and return it to the pot.
Step 10
Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Step 11
Simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
