Step 1
In a large bowl rinse meat with water and a little red wine vinegar. Transfer on a large pot with 2,5 lt lukewarm water. Boil on high heat and skim any foam that forms on the surface using a slotted spoon. Add extra water to keep meat under the surface and boil on medium heat for 20 min. Stir in wine, pepper corns, lower down heat and simmer for 1 h and 30 minutes.
Step 2
Add all diced vegetables in the pot. Season with salt and simmer for another 30 min until tender. Remove meat and beef shank with a slotted spoon. Chop meat and any marrow and return to pan. If soup is thick, add a little hot water, allowing to boil for 1-2 min. Stir in lemon zest and remove pan from heat.
Step 3
Whizz cornflower with lemon juice and then stir in egg yolks until well-combined. Add 1 ladle of liquid from the pot beating at all times until well-combined. Repeat procedure with 3-4 more ladles of liquid from the pot. Pour over the soup and boil for 1 min. Drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with pepper and some parsley or chopped spring onions if you wish and serve immediately with crusty bread.
