I bought a meaty slice of beef shank yesterday and cooked it overnight
in my crockpot with mirepoix and some fresh thyme. Hubby ate the meat
for lunch with boxed beef stock because I didn't have enough liquid
for two meals and basically he doesn't care. He said the meat was
tender and flavorful, who am I to argue? Tonight, I am combining the
caramelized onions from a few days ago with the stock I made last
night to make onion soup (aka in the USA as "French" onion soup).
I'll finish it off a little differently with cheese toast or maybe
smaller cheese croutons, which will be premade by broiling and float
them in the soup.
