Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil avocado, canola, vegetable
- 4 lamb shanks roughly 3/4 to 1 pound each
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 4 carrots diced
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups stout beer Guinness or Murphy's
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Heat the neutral oil in a large, ovenproof pan over high heat. Add the lamb shanks and brown them on all sides, for approximately 10 minutes. Once browned, remove the lamb shanks to a plate.
- In the same pan, add the diced onions, carrots, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Pour in the stout beer, stirring to release all the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, dried thyme, bay leaves, parsley, tarragon, sugar, and Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub. Return the lamb shanks to the pot. Bring the liquids to a boil.
- Cover the pan and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb shanks are tender but not falling apart.
- Remove the shanks from the pot and place them in a serving bowl. Reserve the braising liquid. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour over medium heat. Cook for a minute or so, then whisk this mixture into the reserved braising liquid. Add the red wine vinegar and stir constantly until thickened.
- Pour the sauce over the lamb shanks and serve hot.
