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

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.
Enjoy. Use it to make sandwich filling or a curry. Both recipes are linked in the text above.
