Place the knuckle in a saucepan, pour beer over it, add bay leaf and spices. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for a day or more.

When it boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer the knuckle for three hours, while turning over to the other side two hours after cooking.
During cooking, the meat will begin to move away from the bone. Put the shank in a baking dish. Mix honey, soy sauce and mustard until smooth and brush the shank well on all sides with this mixture. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 40-50 minutes. During baking, additionally grease the remaining shank with sauce several times.
