This is a delicious and extremely economical dish. 800g shin of beef, more than enough enough for 4 people was less than £5.00 (Feb. 2009). The slow-cooking breaks down the normally tough fibres in the meat and creates a wonderful gravy

====Best recipe review====

''Nicer than fillet steak''

5/5 

The length of cooking time turns this cheap cut into the most delicious stew - glorious.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 800 g shin of beef, cut into 4 thick slices
| 1 medium [[onion]], chopped fine
| 3 ribs [[celery]] with leaves, chopped fine
| 3 medium [[carrots]], chopped fine
| 3 [[cloves garlic, crushed]]
| 3 tablespoons [[butter]]
| 4 tablespoons [[olive oil]]
| 1 cup (240ml) dry white [[wine]] or white [[vermouth]]
| 2 cups (about 480ml) [[vegetable stock]]
| 3 tablespoons [[tomato puree]]
| A few tomatoes, sliced
| 6 [[anchovy]] fillets, mashed
| ½ teaspoon dried [[thyme]]
| 2-3 [[bay leaves]]
| 2 strips [[lemon]] peel
| [[Sea salt]]
| Freshly ground [[black pepper]]
| [[Cornmeal]]
| 1 cup of mixed [[vegetables]] such as [[broccoli]], [[cauliflower]], [[peas]].

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F - gas 4).
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Using a large heavy [[Dutch oven]], put the [[butter]], 2 tablespoons of the oil, the [[onions]], [[celery]] and [[carrots]] in the pan and [[sauté]] over medium heat until the vegetables have wilted, about 8 minutes. Add the [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[lemon peel]] and sauté until they're fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add the sliced tomatoes and remove from the heat.
| Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a skillet until it is near the smoking point. Lightly coat the steaks with cornmeal and slip them into the oil. Brown on all sides and place them in the [[Dutch oven]] on top of the vegetables.
| Place the wine in the skillet and boil until reduced by one-half, [[deglaze]] the pan, scraping up any brown residue. Pour this over the casserole.
| Heat the [[vegetable stock]] to a boil in the skillet, whisking in the [[tomato puree]] and [[anchovies]]. Add this to the casserole, along with the herbs, several grindings of [[pepper]], and a large pinch of [[salt]]. The liquid should cover about ¾ of the meat steaks. If not, add extra water.
| Bring the pot to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven. Cook for approximately 2 hours - checking halfway through that it has not dried out too much and correct by adding more stock.
| If you are 'using up' odd vegetables such as broccoli florets etc, stir them when the casserole has 30 minutes left to cook.
}}
===Serving suggestion===
Serve with crispy [[jacket potatoes]]
