Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef shank or chuck steak (1 inch thick)
  • 12 oz carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 oz asparagus, trimmed
  • ¾ cup red wine
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat beef dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    Sear beef 2 minutes per side without moving. It should be golden brown; don't flip more than once.

  4. 4

    Pour in red wine and broth. Toss in carrots. Simmer uncovered for 12 minutes until beef is tender and liquid reduces by half.

  5. 5

    Add asparagus to the pan. Cook 3 minutes until just tender. Mix lemon zest and parsley in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Squeeze lemon juice over the pan. Top with gremolata. Serve immediately in a shallow bowl with braising liquid.
