Beef Shanks with Vegetables
If you happen to not have beef shanks available to you, this meal can be made with regular stewed beef. But I think the wonderful flavor imparted by the bone-in meat will be missing. Either way, the results will still be amazing! Additionally, you can use baby portobello or white button mushrooms. I actually used a combination of the two and it was perfect.
