    For some reason now unknown to me, I braised a crapload of beef shank cross cuts in wine, and now am sick of eating the product as is.
    Any suggestions?

    Perhaps ravioli, if there are parts that aren't too wet? A Tuscan-style sauce with chicken liver... awesome.

    Take the meat off the bone and freeze it. The ravioli suggestion is great. Or, make a tomato-based pasta sauce with it.

    I used to braise whole beef shanks, two to three at a time.

    Thinly sliced then used as such:

    1) made decent sandwich meat.
    2) cooked into Thai curries
    3) stir-fried with a bit of olive oil, slivered ginger, scallion and oyster sauce made for a nice dish.
    4) Korean jigae (spicy soup/stew) with onion, tofu, veges, mushrooms, egg, gokchujang, gochugaru
    5) added to Mexican style scrambled eggs
    6) topping for ramen, udon or pho
    7) stirfried with wide rice noodles
    8) warmed and mixed w/ BBQ sauce makes a nice "chipped beef" sandwich
    9) traditional Chinese cold platter, topped w/ cilantro, sesame seeds, soy and sesame oil (can be placed into siu beng)

    That's just off the top of my head re: dishes we've made with it.
