Braised Beef Shanks

[ZombiedustXXX]

I'm making this right now. My local supermarket had a sale on beef shanks...$1.89/lb.!

[oOoladyblackmetalxXx]

Eating bone marrow once in a while is good. Like an indulgence to yourself, especially when raw beef shank is expensive to purchase. :)

[s18331833]

how does bone marrow taste?

[TrippleLee]

Force my will upon the meat. ...

[ColoredGrayscale]

Note to self: Never mix up the words Polenta and placenta when cooking.

[itsRyanLiew]

Nuke em in the microwave~ ME GUSTA

[DrePittsburgh]

I grew up on all types of different meat. Love all of it. Inexpensive where I live and great to eat.Thanks for the video.

[TimeOutGirls]

Great video!

[wickfreeliving]

This dish is $24.00 dollars at the fancy smancy ristorante near my house. Thank you so much for sharing his recipe Chef . Now I know how to make it! <3

[rice4me4u]

just tried this recipe with beef short ribs because the local grocery store didn't have shank. all i can say is you sir are a culinary genius. this is by far the most delicious thing a college boy like me has ever made. cheers.

[watercreator]

how did his carrots not disappear o.0? when i cook stew i have to add the carrots later cuz they melt away.... something fishy is indeed going on here <.< hmmmm

[josipis]

I did this but just with beef cubes. Turned out great.

[maine1600]

As soon as the music played, I smelled beef. What heresy is this??

[mingcai]

i love having like a large piece of bone with marrow and just suck the marrow out after eating the meat

soo good

[abijo]

huhuhuu bone marrow...its midnite now and im craving for braised beef. this is mouth watering vid plus the voice over goes well w this recipe hehehe

[ame7272]

Marrow is not only tastes good but is incredibly healthy for you. Look it up.

[iEGeek]

Oooh, marrow, I love it but I take it like once every 4 or 5 months.

[zoechen0703]

Sexy voice...

[bulldozerchn]

BETTER THAN SEX!

[TooCarole]

I think I like this recipe much better than my own. I'm going to use it this week. I'll report back, if I can remember to do so. lol!

[nintendoandsega1990]

How is it compare to Osso Bucco?

[some5672]

1:00 you can hear him swallow his drool.

[bubles0nskye]

i just made this yesterday. meat was super tender. it was too "rich" , fattening, especially with the mashed potatoes.

[sanjieev]

@bubles0nskye IT was not suppose to be with mash potato, its polenta, corn cake mix

[Giggity230]

is there a difference between broth and stock??

[PHANTOM1OF1OPERA]

@Giggity230 i believe broth is with vegetables and stock is with a protein such as chicken beef or seafood as well as a mire poix (celery, carrots, and onions)

[bubles0nskye]

can i use chicken broth instead of beef broth?

[ashlon0929]

U must eat the Marrow!

[sailorsahotshot]

I have beef shanks cooking now! Your recipe looks so much better than mine...will use this recipe next time.

If you've never tried marrow in the bone...you are missing out! It's highly flavorful and delicious, a super concentrated powerhouse of lipids. Paleo-diet, American Indians, and hunters, who don't like to waste food, will eat all parts of the animal that they kill for food, not just certain parts.

[francis98498]

Yummy, But I used lots of wine. We used small lobster falks on the marrow,

[stargirlvictoria]

to foodwishes: would the recipe work with lamb also?

[stargirlvictoria]

seriously guys! marrow is awesome! i used to be disgusted about it too when i was little :P but then my dad showed me what marrow tasted like and then it was like...oohhhhhhh! little piece of fatty heaven :D trust me. it's worth fishing out

[IAlanakiI]

Any reason for not using the dutch oven for all this? Is stainless better for this application? Thanks! Looks amazing!!

[zuhas711]

Amazing.. It fired up my craving for this shanks and marrow.. loved it since childhood.. too good..

[vircabutar]

this recipe is RIDICULOUS!!! Ridiculously GOOOOOD

[NobbyKNobbs]

I wuv your food. wuv it! now stop making me hungry :(

[RPGcollector1980]

This looks absolutely delicious!!! Grocery store here I come!!!

[lazymuthafukka]

marrow + Toast = Heaven

[415Bruh]

Meet your new subscriber :]. Do you have any healthy simple meals?

[erican1991]

chef, i love you.

hahahaha

[fezan84]

Growing up, the lamb and/or beef marrow was my favorite part of the meal =]

[fezan84]

lololol

[naruto3071]

what the fuck is your problem? he just said it was his favorite food. how the fuck is he a fatass you dumb piece of shit?

[MoNsTerHunTeRFreEk]

what does it taste like?

[frilink]

taste good.........

[rara03p]

i am so huuuungry!!!!!

[davidaud777]

good stuff

[princessanna57]

marrow is awesome! When I was younger, my whole family would fight for the marrow in the bones lol

[naruto3071]

"Force my will upon the meat."

[laughingtiger123]

Yep... awesome stuff. I like adding just half a cup of Rioja (use any medium + red) but not any more. I also add about 4 shakes of worchestershire sauce and a bit of garlic power. Killer. Thanks chef!

[LikeABreath]

Marrow is ridiculously delicious, all of you guys who refuse to try it are missing out. So you'll eat an animal's muscles but not the stuff inside the bones? Come on, live a little.

[Coldworld26]

they are missing out in life.

[fardisghomeshi]

@LikeABreath rocks

[MaximaToluene]

@LikeABreath sometimes, those inside the bones are very dangerous fats :D or so my brother told me. :P

[SealDogification]

@LikeABreath i agree

[Disembow1280]

@LikeABreath I think people are afraid to eat the marrow because it gets all grainy when it's overcooked.

[allmyjm]

this looks AMAZINGLY delicious!

[chinesedude001]

i love onions:D

[burntflybog]

okay, this is food porn. I'm excited now.

[bigtonutz]

nice dish chef john looks delicous. thanks for posting it!

[jenacorn]

That is the best kind of food. Simple. Meat so well done that it is falling off the bone. Mmmm. I not even hungry and I want it. Thank you.

[Atheyst]

Do pumpkin soup.

[lauweroos]

yesss i love this slowly cooked beef!

[GooGoowa]

yummy yummy yummmmmmmy xD

thanx my mouth is watery :D

[shestudios]

SHEET..! That is pure sex... I love fall comfort food. Thank you Chef!

[oekakinin]

I love marrow. Anthony bourdain says it's like god's butter.

[HerrHauptman]

Thanks I made just like you showed. What a treat.....also that marrow on toast is wonderful

[LadyBeth24]

oh that looks so good! I am sooo using this recipe

[volimpse]

Niceeeeee!

[ChickengirlDesign]

omg...drool....yum....

[Memosne]

This looks so wonderful. Thanks Chef John! This seems like a really good winter meal, something to warm you up at the end of the day! <3

[chrissssy]

*drools*

[liarsclub75]

This looks so good! I love marrow and hate instant onion soup mix. I will try this soon.

[russtex]

I guess you don't cook or don't need new ideas for recipes.

[SonGohan50]

See you in thirty years where you'll be ordering McDonalds all day.

[PammieChan]

How is it funny? It's to learn how to cook from a great chef!

[thatbastardson]

why are you laughing at people who watch food videos? im trying to follow, honestly, but im not getting it. is it because you think cooking "gay" or some other derogatory term? please explain to us all why you are laughing at us for liking to cook food.

[sammikit]

That looks so good! Can you recommend other cuts of beef that are less intimidating for a beginner cook?

[liarsclub75]

You can probably use beef shoulder (chuck) for this, but shanks are relatively inexpensive and should be fine for a beginner cook.

[BreeTube123]

urgh the thought of eating marrow makes me feel sick lol

[saphyreXice]

Maybe it's because I don't eat a lot of red meat, but please don't take this the wrong way John, as I LOVE your vids. But When you got to the marrow bit and called it beef butter I almost got ill. I think this is one recipie I won't be making :S

[MOrningOrbit]

"There should be one per shank, otherwise something fishy is going on."

LOL

That made my day and it's only 7.30 a.m.

P.S: I love watching your videos and i hope you continue making them!

[Airave]

The days are getting shorter

and there is a bit of a chill in the air.

Onion braised shanks will go great

with my homemade mashed potatoes.

Delicious! Thanks again, Chef!

[takadi]

You should do roasted bone marrow!!

[only3wishes]

Check on his site - he did bone marrow recipe demo.

[ChoChoquota]

OMG! Its so beefy delicious!!

[moofushu]

It's just terrible more people don't follow this chef on youtube. He offers so much in so short a time. Always good information.

[trouble7043]

u always mke my mouth water!

[houchi69]

is "Beautiful Polenta" a special brand??

xD

har har...

[brt5470]

Oh god... that looks soooo delicious!

[secretwmp]

I can't watch your videos when I'm hungry anymore

[tchapman1977]

Looks good, but I'll have to take your word for it that the marrow is good as I'd never eat it. If it isn't meat, I don't eat it. That's just me. So, if I ever fix this at home, you're welcome to my shank bone & all the marrow it contains, Chef Jon. Cheers!

[takadi]

Marrow is basically just fat.

[tchapman1977]

That may be, but it doesn't mean I'm going to eat it, either. That just happens to be my preference. Tell you what, when I do fix this, you & Chef Jon can fight over who gets my bone with the marrow. Cheers!

[jsphil]

i am definately going to try this!

[UkCobra]

can you replace the beef shanks with lamb shanks?

[MoleSnyper]

i don't see why not?

[TrippyTardsTakeover]

wow, that sounds good! if you try it , let me know how it tastes!

[robertlewis2002]

so you just put onions on top and turn the heat to low? you don't have to bring the stock and onion mixture to a boil then put it on low?

[Beachdudeca]

Geez talk about a great fall recipe !

That looks like a great comfort food as things get colder.

[AznM4fia]

Omg I'm so hungry.

[TheOtakuanimefreak]

great!!!!!!

[burntonion05]

I am glad you understand onionology.

[penguinistas]

Looks great chef ... (how does he do it)?

[kesel5588]

I ask the same question time after time.

[deagle94]

why are you sooo good at cooking??

[fezan84]

Absolutely amazing! I was salivating while watching, haha.

[atomicman4]

lol "there should be 1 per shank... or else something fishy is going on"

[gledalka]

looks delicious!

[crapfromthestreet]

that looks delicious beyond words.

[ilikethewok]

Looks absolutely great!!

[ZombiedustXXX]

WoW John! I am definitely going to make this dish more than once! You never disappoint.

Beef shanks, and oxtails. What two great and under appreciated cuts of beef! I have already made your oxtail soup, and your "Beef Merlot" stews more times than I can remember. They are sooo good, I refuse to eat them at work, because I don't want to spoil the experience there.

After I make this the first time, a little red wine might fall into the pot the next time around. :D

[2Feet1Wheel]

i think i will make this this weekend!

[xanthicalex17]

Man I'm hungry now :(

[JessicaPersonalChef]

That's what we had for dinner :) I love IL grass fed beef!

[some5672]

Thanks chef john! you've been working hard lately!

[prettyinpunk666]

Mmm this looks sooo good.

[ltnguyener]

nice

[LeanordChurch91]
