All it takes is a pan and a good dose of patience. Then you have a simple, tender and tasty meal. There are so many ways to serve this delicious meat, for example in crispy corn tortillas or in a juicy burger.

Ingredients

• 1 kg venison shank with bone

• 600 ml dark beer

• 600 ml water

• 3 tbsp chili powder

• 3 tbsp ground cumin

• 2 tbsp. ground coriander

• 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Clean the deer carcass. Mix all the spices in a small bowl and rub the spices all over the shank.

Heat a frying pan over high heat with a little neutral-flavoured oil, such as rapeseed oil. Fry the skanks for 2-3 minutes on each side and transfer to a large pan. Add the beer, tomato puree and water to the pan until it covers the shanks. Cover and simmer gently until the meat is so tender it falls off the bone. This takes about 3 hours.

Place the venison on a cutting board and carefully pull the meat apart using two forks. Serve with your favourite accompaniments.
