Step 1
Pat beef shank dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear beef 2 minutes per side without moving—surface should be golden brown.
Step 3
Remove beef. Add shallots to the same pan, stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, then pour in wine and broth.
Step 4
Return beef to pan. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Braise for 12 minutes, turning beef once halfway through—liquid should bubble gently.
Step 5
While beef braises, boil rice in salted water until tender, ~12 minutes. Toss salad greens with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 6
Lift beef onto a plate. Spoon sauce and shallots over top. Serve alongside rice and dressed salad.
