- 2 lbs (1 kg) beef shank
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (250 mL) dry red wine
- 2 potatoes, peeled and finely diced
- 1 white turnip, peeled and finely diced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 beets, finely diced
- 1 bunch beet greens, shredded (optional)
- 3 cups (750 mL) shredded cabbage
- 1 cup (250 mL) finely diced carrot

Preparation
In 1 cup/250 mL water, soak mushrooms until tender, 15 to 30 minutes. Reserving soaking liquid, drain and finely chop mushrooms; add both to slow cooker.
Sprinkle pepper all over beef. In skillet, heat oil over high heat; in batches, brown beef and stir into slow cooker.
Pour off fat from skillet; add wine to skillet and bring to boil while scraping up brown bits from bottom and side of pan. Pour into slow cooker; add potatoes, turnip, onion, beets, beet greens (if using), cabbage, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, ginger, salt, bay leaf and just enough water to cover ingredients, 3 to 4 cups/750 mL to 1 L.
Cook until meat and vegetables are very tender, about 5 hours on high or 10 hours on low. Remove bay leaf. Stir in sugar and lemon juice. Serve with sour cream (if desired).
