  Place large skillet (I use my 12" chicken frier) over medium high heat. Add just enough olive oil to barely cover bottom of skillet and allow to heat until shimmering. Place shanks in hot oil and brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Remove shanks from pan and set aside. LEAVE SKILLET ON BURNER.

  Place beef shanks back into pan with tomato mixture and add beef broth if needed to completely cover the shanks. Turn heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes or until shanks are tender. Broth should thicken as it cooks down. Add more broth or water as needed.
