Add flour and cook for 1 minute, then add the beer, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add stock and bring to a simmer. Return lamb shanks to the pan, then cover with baking paper or foil. Cook in the oven for 2 hours or until tender.
- Meanwhile, to make the mashed potato, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until cooked. Drain the water from the pot then place the pot back onto the heat to remove any excess moisture from the potatoes. Mash the potatoes until all lumps are removed. Stir through 725g butter, milk and salt until well combined.
- Place the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 25g butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden. remove from heat.
