Lamb Shank
Lamb shanks practically melt off the bone when they are slow cooked, and are a popular menu item across the country. Lean on fat but big on flavor, the meaty shank is perfect for braising in a slow, simmering broth. Great cooked in a dutch oven or instant pot.
Each Package is approximately 2 Lbs.

4 bay leaves
4 sprigs of thyme, minced

Directions:
Marinade shanks in a drizzle of olive oil, and spices for 4 hours, up to overnight for best flavors. See chef's notes.
Season with S&P, brown on all sides in dutch oven.
Remove the shanks and brown onion, carrots and celery until they begin to soften. Add tomato paste, cook for about a minute stirring, add wine to deglaze pot. Allow liquid to cook until reduced by 1/2.
Add tomatoes, mix and adjust seasoning as needed. You will need a generous pinch of S&P. Nestle shanks back into the liquid along with the beef stock. Cover with lid and braise in oven at 325° for 1.5/2 hours, or until fork tender.
Allow to sit until the fat comes to the surface, remove fat. Put shanks shanks in a small bowl to make gravy. Make a cornstarch slurry and add to liquid. Cook until liquid turns into a gravy.
