Ingredients
- 2 large lamb shanks shopping list
- 1 T sesame oil shopping list
- 2 cups beef stock shopping list
- 1 can of stewed tomatoes shopping list
- 2 cans Guinness Draught beer shopping list
- 2 cloves of garlic, smashed shopping list
- 1 sprig of thyme shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
For the Shanks
- Generously salt and pepper the shanks
- In a deep pan, or dutch oven ( I use my cast iron 4 1/2 qt pot) add the sesame oil and heat on medium high
- Once the pan is hot and the oil just starts to smoke, place one shank in at a time, and brown completely. Color = flavor, so don't be shy with getting them nice and brown. One at a time makes it easier to turn them.
- Once brown, add all of the ingredients, covering the shanks completely with the liquid.
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce to medium low to simmer
- Cover and let them braise for about 2 1/2 hours.
- When done, remove from the pan, place on a shallow baking pan and place in the oven at 300 while you prepare the sauce
For the Sauce
- Strain the braising liquid through cheesecloth, or a fine strainer
- Bring to a boil and reduce it by about 1/3
- Serve on top of the shanks

Totally delicious!! I made this exactly as per spec except I grabbed a sprig of rosemary when I was coming back from the thyme. I love rosemary with lamb. The lamb was perfectly cooked. I braised for 2 hours, 15 minutes. The sauce was wonderful. ...more
