Instructions

Pat the beef shanks dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, dredge lightly in flour for a thicker sauce.
Heat olive oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven. Sear the beef shanks until golden brown on both sides.
Add onion, carrot, and celery to the pot and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in water and scrape up browned bits. Add diced tomatoes, beef stock, bay leaf, and thyme.
Return beef shanks to the pot, submerge in liquid, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 2.5 hours.
Adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley and lemon zest, and serve hot.
