Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat beef shanks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear beef 3 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add onion and carrot to the same skillet. Cook 2 minutes until starting to soften and fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in tomato paste and Dijon mustard until coated, about 30 seconds. Pour in wine, scraping up browned bits from the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Return beef to the skillet. Add thyme. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover partially.

  6. Step 6

    Braise 12 minutes until beef is tender and sauce reduces slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with the vegetables and sauce.
