To defrost the beef shin, place into a bowl of cool water (still in its packaging) and leave for approximately 10 minutes to get to room temperature.
Preheat a fan assisted oven to 150C.
To cook the shin of beef place in a bowl place a handful of plain flour, lightly season the flour with salt and pepper and toss the beef shin through the flour.
Add some Beef Dripping or Ghee to a castiron pot with a fitting lid and place on a medium-high heat. Add the beef shin to the pot and carefully brown. Remove the braising beef from the pot and set aside.
To the pot add a few halved shallots and cook until soft. Add a small handful of garden herbs, a couple of cloves of garlic, a glass of red wine and a pouch of Beef Stock.
Return the beef to the pot and place the lid on top.
Move the pot into the oven and cook for 2-3 hours, until the beef is beautifully tender.
