STEP 1: Heat a drizzle of oil in a Dutch oven, then brown the pieces of beef shank on all sides.
STEP 2: Add the peeled and sliced onion as well as the peeled and sliced carrots to the Dutch oven.
STEP 3: Let the vegetables soften for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden.
STEP 4: Incorporate 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the meat and vegetables, then mix well.
STEP 5: Pour the red wine into the Dutch oven, stirring to deglaze the pan juices and avoid lumps.
STEP 6: Add enough beef broth to completely cover the meat, as well as a bouquet garni to enhance the flavors.
STEP 7: Cover the Dutch oven and let simmer on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
STEP 8: At the end of cooking, check the tenderness of the meat; it should be melting and easily pull apart.
