Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1.2 kg) beef shin
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 1 rosemary sprig
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 3 - 4 parsley stalks
- 3 tsp salt
- 3 carrots, cut into 5 cm lengths
- 2 parsnips, cut into 5 cm lengths, thick ends quartered
- 3 celery stalks, peeled, cut into 5 cm lengths
- 2 large brown onions, cut into eighths
- 2 large turnips, cut into eighths
- 1 large swede (rutabaga), roughly chopped
- 6 new potatoes
- 12 brussels sprouts, trimmed
- Seeded mustard, to serve
- Horseradish cream, to serve
Resting time: 30 minutes
Instructions
- Place the beef into a large, heavy-based saucepan and cover with water (about 3 litres). Bring to a simmer and skim any scum that rises to the surface of the water. Wrap the herbs and peppercorns in a piece of muslin and tie well with string. Add the muslin parcel to the water with the salt. Simmer on low heat for 3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- Place all the vegetables except the brussels sprouts into the pan in individual piles with the beef and cover with a drop lid or cartouche. Simmer for a further hour until the vegetables are tender, adding the brussels sprouts 10 minutes before the end of cook time. Allow to stand for 30 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- To serve, slice the beef shin. Divide the meat and vegetables between bowls and serve with a little broth with the seeded mustard and horseradish on the side.
