Directions:

In a braising pan heat 3-tablespoons olive oil, onions, carrots and saute until tender. Add garlic and saute for a minute.
In a bowl add remaining olive oil, fine sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and wisk. Toss beef shanks one at a time in oil.
Place 2 beef-shanks in braising pan and sear on both sides, remove from pan and set aside. Sear remaining beef shanks and place all beef- shanks into the pan.
Add 1/2 cup Merlot wine and reduce wine by one-half.
Add beef stock, tomatoes and wisk in tomato paste. Bring to a full boil and reduce to slow simmer.
Place fresh herbs, juniper berries and peppercorns in cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth to complete Sachet. Add Sachet and place a tight fitting lid over braisng pan. Slowly braise 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef is tender.
Remove beef-shanks and hold warm. Strain beef stock. Cook egg noodles in beef stock until tender.
Divide noodles into warm bowls and place 1 Center-Cut Beef Shank on top. Add beef broth and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Chef's Note: Use a good quality Merlot Wine; I used a Merlot wine 2006 from Harmony Cellars, Paso Robles, Calif.
