Rosemary and Garlic Braised Lamb Shank
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 lamb shanks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb shanks on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the lamb shanks and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the lamb shanks to the pot. Add the rosemary, beef broth, and red wine. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.
- Remove the lamb shanks from the pot and keep warm.
- Strain the cooking liquid and return it to the pot. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the lamb shanks with the reduced sauce and enjoy!
