Method

  1. Heat the oven to 150C/fan130C/gas2. Put the flour on a plate and dust the meat generously, coating all over. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large casserole, then brown off the shins one at a time on each side and remove to a plate. add another tbsp oil then add the onions, garlic, carrot and celery to the casserole and cook gently for about 5 minutes until starting to soften. add any leftover flour from the plate and stir well into the vegetables. remove from the heat and slowly stir in the wine.
  2. Return the pan to the heat and simmer until saucy. Put the beef back into the pan and add the chopped tomatoes, stock and bay then season. Bring to a gentle simmer then put in the oven and cook for 3 hours.
  3. Just before serving, make the gremolata. Mix the lemon zest, finely diced garlic and the parsley. Serve a little sprinkled on top of each shin and put the rest on the table.

    i used veal - e xpensive but delicious. next time i will ask the butcher for smaller pieces, if poss. some of them were a bit too big, and I had to trim them. i made it 3 days in advance, and left it in the fridge, and it was fine. i used a tin of tomatoes, instead of fresh ones, as i think tinned ones have better flavour. i served it with spinach and risotto milanese (cheats' version from supermarket) and it was a big success!

    I suggest making some tiny nicks at the outer edges of the meat before frying. This will prevent the meat from curling up. I also use canned tomatoes but place a portion on each serving of meat. I find that the sharpness of the gremolata is ameliorated if placed on each portion five minutes before the end of cooking time.
