Ingredients: Keto Garlic Rosemary Beef Shanks
- 2 large beef shanks (bone-in)
- 3 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried rosemary)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- ½ cup dry red wine (or extra broth for an alcohol-free option)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for finishing)
Instructions
1️⃣ Sear the Beef Shanks:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef shanks with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
2️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics:
Lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic and rosemary, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3️⃣ Deglaze the Pan:
Pour in the red wine (or extra broth) and apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits for extra flavor.
4️⃣ Slow Braise:
Add beef broth, cover, and simmer on low heat for 2.5–3 hours (or transfer to a preheated 300°F oven). Cook until the meat is fork-tender.
5️⃣ Finish & Serve:
Stir in butter for a glossy finish. Serve with cauliflower mash or roasted low-carb veggies for a complete keto meal.
