Ingredients
-
Beef Shank
-
salt + pepper
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 cups full bodied red wine
-
2 twigs of thyme
-
2 tbsp Big Cove Foods Espresso Nice spice blend
-
1 onion, quartered
-
1 carrot, roughly chopped
-
8 oz Cremini mushrooms, ends trimmed
-
5 garlic cloves, smashed
-
1 bay leaf
-
4 cups water
Directions
Pre heat oven to 300°F.
Season shanks with salt and pepper on both sides.
With a pan on medium high heat, add the 2 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to heat up. When nice and hot, add the shanks, careful not to over crowd the pan. Sear each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes each side.
Remove the shanks to a plate and set them aside. In a now empty pan over medium heat, add the red wine to deglaze pan; followed by the garlic, thyme and Espresso Nice spice blend. Simmer on medium high heat for 5 minutes to lock in that flavour and reduce slightly.
Nestle the beef shanks back into pan, add in the carrot, onion and mushrooms and snuggle them in there too. Top with 4 cups of water, or enough to just cover the top of the shanks and add the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cover with tin foil and then place the lid on top.
Place the covered pot in the oven and leave it alone for 3 hours.
3 hours later….
Remove the shanks to a separate plate and set aside. With an emulsion blender, puree all those flavours together until you get a creamy consistency. Heat on the puree on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the shanks back to the pot and cover with the sauce.
Great enjoyed over top of a creamy grits or mashed potatoes.

from 170 reviewsLove this! I add it to yogurt! Texture and flavor is fantastic!
I am a chef and I ordered these last summer for BBQ season they were awesome! Will certainly re order soon! I would recommend these spices to anyone that is looking to take their BBQ reciepes to the next level.
This was amazing, I’ve already made the chickpea salad 4 times!!! I also made it for a few other people to try and they all loved it as well and asked where it was from!
My favourite spice blend. Delicious on any/all meat!
I traveled to Ontario for Christmas (2023) and brought Pouches of Big Cove Pick your Own Five. It was a big hit several years ago when I did it. Great feedback from everyone back then and everyone was very happy to recieve them again. The blends and recipes are great.
Had to order them all so we could try the ones we haven’t yet!
I purchased the Taco Enhancer product and first tried it when making some ground beef for my tacos. I tried the meat just using the taco spice and it did well just being on its own. It provided a reasonable amount of heat to the meat that wasn't overpowering but was noticeable. As I ate more of the meat with the spice I felt the heat of the product increase which was nice. If you don't like hot stuff, this is a good product to get you started to feel a little heat that is reasonable. If you like hot stuff, this probably won't do it for you but it does provide a small kick. It paired well with the ground beef as the meat really soaked up the spice.
We used this spice on a salad as it said it contained mango. While we typically start away from anything Porcine, this one is a must but. The museum and garlic mixed with the mango gives it a unique flavour that we didn't even realize we were missing from our cupboard until we tried it!
One of my favs
Obssessed.
The best taco seasoning I have found for Taco Salad and Tacos but also great as a seasoning on salmon, chicken, beef and pork. It's one seasoning I use frequently!
I enjoyed the taco enhancer on nachos . It had the right amount of heat and the spice combo blended well. Looking forward to trying it in different recipes , including tacos and more !
We love these so much! We go through these blends so fast and get creative with them when we cook. Just the best blends and love that extra kick from the ghost pepper!
The aroma of the spices are strong and you can smell it outside of the package itself without even opening the package. it's strong in the cumin and garlic and hot spices. the color of the spices are a very deep rich orange/red and I love that! you don't have to use a lot because it's or a high quality and strength otherwise you can very quickly end up with an over spiced menu. I like very much the fact that the package is resealable too.
I was looking for a quick mix to spice up my steak and came across this blend. Although it says lamb, the spices worked really well with the steak. I love that it's quick and painless. I don't have to figure out my own spice blend, I'm able to quickly reach for a high quality product that I know I can count on. I'm definitely going to restock when I run out!
