Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 pound beef shank

  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

  • ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram

  • 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 6 ounces water

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Add beef shank to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Return onion and garlic to the pan, and sprinkle thyme, oregano, rosemary, and marjoram over beef. Add tomatoes and tomato paste.

  3. Pour water into the tomato paste can; swirl to remove any extra tomato paste, and add to the saucepan. Stir in lemon zest, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Cook’s Note

Instead of canned tomatoes, you can use four blanched, peeled, and diced fresh tomatoes.

During the last few minutes of cooking in Step 3, you can add your favorite vegetable. I like to add spinach, although it does get a bit soggy.
