Step 1

Place the water and the vegetable dashi packet in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, then remove the dashi packet.

Step 2

Season the beef shank with salt and pepper, then lightly coat it with flour and shake off the excess.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and crushed garlic to a frying pan, place the beef in the pan, and then turn on the heat. Brown the beef on all sides.

Step 4

Finely chop [A] and sauté briefly in the frying pan. Add [B] and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes. Pour in the vegetable dashi, bring it back to a boil, and skim off any foam or impurities.

Step 5

Add the rosemary to taste, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and continue simmering until tender. Garnish with parsley if desired.
