Beef slow cooked with star anise consume

I have had this dish in my head for some time. Slow cooked beef shank, using the stock to make a beautiful clean consume, then to wrap the slow cooked beef in Serrano ham and cook it again for the sweet salty carmalised effect.  Served with sort of a salad (beetroot, tomato, coriander leaf, onion and teeny cubes of feta). 

The beef had been cooked for 3 hours in a spice mix of star anise, chinese 5 spice, chilli, sherry vinegar, onion, garlic.  Then removed from it’s stock sauce (after sitting overnight in the fridge).  The beef itself was wrapped in Serrano ham and cooked until caramalised.  The stock sauce was clarified with egg white to produce a beautiful clean clear beef stock star anise taste.

Beetroot, little cubes of feta cheese, slow cooked beetroot, very good quality cherry tomatoes, lightly pickled onion, a touch of fresh coriander leaf.  Fine.  Very fine indeed.  Elegant, light but rich and heady at the same time. 

Where would this dish originate?  Well mainly middle east in flavour so I’ll say it’s a middle eastern dish non halal and very very delicious.

Andy suggested duck and yes he's right.  The same technique applied (I'd change the veg) with a beautiful crispy piece of duck leg on duck stock consume would be utterly divine.   Next time!!
