In a large saucepan, heat the oil and lard, and brown the wagyu beef shin.
Deglaze with the wine over high heat, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Lower the heat to medium and add the tomato paste and bay leaves.
Cook for a few minutes to lightly toast the tomato paste.
Add the onions and the milk.
Add the pork rind roll.
Stir until everything is mixed together.
Cover the saucepan with foil and cook on low heat until the onions stop releasing liquid.
Lower to a simmer and cook for 4-5 hours, until the mixture becomes a thick sauce and the colour becomes amber.
Garnish with a mix of grated parmesan and pecorino cheeses.
