Brown the beef shank on both sides in heated oil for about 5 minutes each side.

Remove the beef shank and add chopped onion, celery, and grated or chopped carrot to the pan.

Sauté the vegetables for about 7 minutes.

Add chopped garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Deglaze the pan with 1 cup of red wine (or substitute with 3/4 cup grape juice and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar).

Return the beef shank to the pan and add 3 cups of vegetable stock, enough to cover everything.

Add 1 can of crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 packet of onion soup mix.

Cook on medium heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary.

After 2 and 1/2 hours, add 1 cubed potato and check the broth.

Continue cooking for a total of 3 hours until the beef shank is tender and falls apart.
