This beef shank dinner was without a doubt FABULOUS ! ! ! ! I loved it ! & don't think the olives were too much. My Husband thinks this is better than anything I have cooked in a while. Even good the next day.

10/9/2011 12:24:11 PM Report AbuseMade this receipe for Sunday dinner. Thought the olive taste was too overpowering for all the other delicious flavors. After boiling gnocchi for 2 minutes, used some meat gravy in a large frying pan and simmered the gnocchi to absorb the flavor of the gravy. I will make this again, but am going to try short ribs as the meat.Loved the herb topping!!
