"Heat enough olive oil in a wide based pan to cover the base, add the knuckle of beef. Keep turning the beef for 5-10 minutes to seal in the juices. When it is golden all over, remove the beef from the pan. Keep the pan with the beef juices and the olive oil on a high heat and add the chopped vegetables, pancetta and fresh herbs. Sweat these off and then return the beef to the pan. Now pour both bottles of red wine in to the pan and all over the meat. Cover and place in a medium oven for between 5-6 hours to cook slowly. "

sage – 1 tsp ground
rosemary – 1 tsp ground
cumin – 1/2 tsp

Add the finely chopped onion and 1 tablespoon tomato paste. Leave to cook for a few minutes. Add the bay leaf , fruits, juniper, cloves and mustard . Add two cups of broth and bring to a boil. Then add the sage leaves and garlic, top with dark beer .
Transfer everything to an oven dish and put to bake in a preheated 360°F (180 °C) oven. It is extremely important to baste the knuckle with the sauce constantly during baking, in order to obtain an appetizing crust.
If the sauce thickens, you can add a little water to dilute it. Toward the end of cooking, turn up the oven to 430°F (220 °C) and bake at that temperature for the final 15-20 minutes.
Transfer the ready Bavarian knuckle to a large plate. If necessary, dilute the sauce with a little beer, put it to boil and then thicken it with a little starch dissolved in water, while also seasoning with black pepper and salt .
