Pork shoulder can be more affordable and still tender when braised.

Cut beef into large chunks and season generously with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add beef to the pot in batches, browning on all sides for 5-7 minutes per batch.

Remove browned beef and set aside; add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot.

Sauté vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.

Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Return beef to the pot and pour in red wine, stirring to combine.

Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, rosemary, and cinnamon stick; stir well.

Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.

Cook gently for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender and sauce thickens.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and more black pepper if needed.

Remove bay leaves and cinnamon stick before serving.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon zest.
