Blend the achiote, orange juice, garlic, oil, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Wash the beef shank and then place it in a container along with the blended achiote and let it rest for 30 to 60 minutes. Cut squares of aluminum foil and place a roasted banana leaf. Put a piece of shank and achiote chili, wrap it up, and place it in a baking dish. Place in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius until cooked (the time depends on the thickness of the meat).
