Dust the beef with the flour until coated.

Remove from the heat and arrange them on the bottom on a casserole dish. Season to taste and set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
-
Reheat the pan without wiping out and fry off the onion, carrot and celery for about 10 minutes or until soft.
-
Pour the vegetable mix evenly over the beef shanks.
-
Again reheat the pan without wiping out and fry off the garlic and mushrooms for about 3 minutes.
-
Add the wine and stock and bring to the boil.
-
Gently pour over the shanks.
-
Open the tin of tomatoes and pour it even over the top.
