Quick Recipes for Beef Shin?

I accidently defrosted some beef shin last night thinking it was some pork chops.


Normally i would cook shin on a weekend so i have time to stew it very very slowly. this way it ends up very tender and tasty.





As i wont have that much time this evening i wondered if anyone had any quicker recipes for using the beef shin up - i don't want it to go to waste
