    I made this two days after Chef John posted it. It came out great!
    My wife kept asking why I was using chicken stock and white wine with beef, so I told her I wasn’t going to screw around with the recipe the first time I’m making it. A wise decision. Chef John knows what he’s doing.
    Then she said we need vegetables with it, so I gave in and added carrots with the potatoes. Then today with the leftovers she said we could add peas too, so as a good husband I threw some frozen peas in and nuked the leftovers. Also fine.
    And definitely sop up the liquid gold from the bowl with a good bread. We used a ciabatta loaf. Most excellent!

      Sure sounds like your wife might know a bit more about cooking than you?
      Beef usually you want red wine and beef stock. Aromatic vegetables. And peas add great texture while also adding nutrition.
      Chef John is great. But I think your wife probably is a good cook.

    Beef shanks are such an underrated cut of beef. My Italian mother (and father!) made beef soup with beef shanks and to this day, it's the best beef soup I've ever eaten.

      You gotta try the "chicken sloppy joe's", I've made it at least 6 times, since. The crispy onion rings are phenomenal! (I'm just experimenting with spices in the dough.) Also the cherry chocolate loaf (I'd use sour cherries from a jar, next time).

      @jeanniebrooks 4 месяца назад +3

      Cooking is all about/out making a series of judgements, after all. I have a difficult time giving someone a “recipe” bc while some of the basic parts are more or less precise (like 2 lbs of beef, I lg can of something), but the rest are just generalizations I don’t know until I do it. I cook by taste, smell, and feel.

    • @jeanniebrooks
      @jeanniebrooks 4 месяца назад +3

      I use shanks most of the time instead of chuck, for beef stews and such. But I have to have more than potatoes. I add rutabaga, parsnip, carrots, top with parsley and have some great artisan Italian bread thick w/butter!

    Chef John, I have three daughters and among some other things for Christmas gave them each a roll of aluminum foil, plastic wrap, parchment paper and wax paper. You suggested things you can use in the kitchen for gifts. It was a wonderful idea. One of my daughters lives in another state and because of a new job couldn’t make to our house for Christmas. We mailed her family the gifts. She called me a couple of days ago almost in tears saying it was the best gift ever. She said she was always running out of these items and having to go buy more before she could cook a dish. Thanks to you she was very happy. Thank you very much for the great idea.

    We tried this and it turned out great and tasted wonderful! An excellent way to use cheaper tougher cuts of beef. We used shanks and followed the recipe exactly, except for the cayenne, and the beef turn out perfectly and was very tender and succulent. Yukon gold potatoes worked very well with this recipe.

    I made this on a cold damp gloomy day here in NE England. It was the day’s delicious highlight! I used a beef joint ,that was very lean, that I found on the discount shelf of my local supermarket. (Your beef neck joint is an unknown cut here) However I followed the rest of the recipe, plus carrots and the resulting dish has fed us for two days . It really is a simple ,uncomplicated Star of a dish .
    Now , here is one of life’s mysteries………..the potato……if I cook it in a pan of water after about 25 minutes I will have a pan of very mushy potato . But….if I cook it , as in this recipe or in a soup or broth , it will retain its shape and texture…….I’ve often wondered why . Kind regards and thank you

    • @veecee3669
      @veecee3669 4 месяца назад +1

      Greetings from California! We do have beef necks and lamb necks (the lamb is delicious!), but the beef shank is from the leg, toward the bottom of the leg, if I'm not mistaken. If lamb shanks are available where you live, you probably have beef shanks. Ask your butcher, if he (or she!) doesn't have them, maybe they can order them. Beef shanks are really, really delicious. Happy New Year!

      @gonzalogonzalez4220 4 месяца назад

      It's only original if you are not familiar with Italian food. It is quite common and used to be inexpensive, but in the US shanks are rarely available. It's lack of availability and long preparation time make it one of the most expensive dishes in restaurants.

    Gosh, I love working with Shanks!
    When I worked at L'auberge, I loved it when Chef let us know when they were ordered for the upcoming Prefix Menu.
    We tied ours and seared them in this OLD Giant cast iron rondo, in rendered beef tallow. (Love the white la crusette, Brother! My Mom actually gifted me my first piece in burt orange, so I just kept getting them in that color... we are kinda weird about our tools, aren't we¿! lol)
    This is a very good strait forward recipe!
    I finished mine with maderia and braised them with some truffle peelings, and usually, he wanted Perigod as the accompanying sauce.. Black Trumpets, Chantelle, and Lobster mushroom base... oh, I am getting hungry!
    Simple, honest flavors without the truffles and expensive mushrooms works great too!
    You just need to hit that perfect chord!

    Very nice Chef John. You could almost make beef stew out of this recipe with carrots 🥕
