Cooking Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef shanks with salt and pepper and brown for 3–4 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits and allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes.
Return the beef shanks to the pot along with beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, and lemon zest; stir gently to combine.
Cover and transfer the pot to the oven; cook for 2 to 2.5 hours until fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
