Instructions
 

  • Wash the shiitake mushrooms before using.
  • Put all the ingredients in your Instant pot and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.
  • If you don't have an instant pot you can either cook on a low heat on the stove for about 2 hours. It might take more time as well depending on the shanks you have.
  • But once the meat is fork tender it's done.
  • Alternatively you can bring it to a boil on the stove and then pop into the oven for about 3-4 hours at 170 C
  • Once your beef is cooked let the instant pot release naturally before opening the lid.
  • Pull out the beef pieces and the mushrooms
  • Then strain the stock.
  • You have beef shank meat perfectly cooked to use, mushrooms and a flavourful beef stock.
