Preparation

Low

Cook the shank in a pot with enough water, garlic, onion, and salt for 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Set aside. For the sauce: blend the pasilla chili, tomato, tomatillos, onion, garlic, salt, allspice, and beef broth until you get a smooth sauce. Set aside. Heat the oil in a semi-deep saucepan and sauté the onion until it is soft and transparent. Then, add the beef, cook for 5 minutes, pour in the pasilla sauce, and cook on low heat for another 10 minutes. Serve the shank with the pasilla chili sauce and accompany with spring rice and corn tortillas.
