A one-pot meal, Beef Shank Casserole, is a savory and comforting mixture of beef shank, root vegetables, and fresh herbs. This dish cooks low and slow in your Dutch oven in a grill or smoker, giving it tons of flavor. The resulting meat is fall-off-the-bone tender with a delicate smoky touch.
Beef shank comes from the legs of the cow and is a well-worked muscle low in fat but rich in flavor. For the most tender meat, it is important to cook it low and slow. Because of its low fat but high protein content, this is a great healthy option for a meal.
Savory and earthy root vegetables, along with fresh herbs, are the perfect accompaniment to the beef shank. They cook to tender perfection alongside the meat in the Dutch oven. You can play around with other root vegetables, like parsnips, rutabaga, or celeriac.
