Ingredients
- 750 g (1½lbs) beef shin / beef shank
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 leeks washed and finely sliced
- 4 celery stalks/ribs finely chopped
- 3 carrots peeled and diced
- 3 turnips peeled and diced
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 3 bay leaves
- 400 g (14oz) canned chopped tomatoes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 4-6 cups beef stock (if you're using an Instant pot, start by adding 2 cups of stock, adding more if necessary. As there is nowhere for the liquid to evaporate to, the soup might be too watery if you use 4 cups of stock.)
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over high heat.
- Pat the meat dry, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Brown the meat well on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- Add all the vegetables to the pot and allow to saute for 10-15 minutes until they start to soften and caramelize.
- Add the garlic, rosemary and bay leaves. Cook for another minute.
- Add the tomatoes and soy sauce, scraping the sticky bits on the bottom of the pot.
- Add the beef back in then add enough stock to cover everything. Season with salt and pepper, cover and reduce the heat.
- Allow to simmer for 90 minutes - 2 hours until the beef is tender.
- Remove the meat from the pot, shred and discard the bones.
- Turn the heat up then add the beef back in. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. At this point you can thicken the soup with a cornstarch slurry if necessary.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
