Beef shank bone-in is a cut of beef that comes from the lower leg of the cow. It typically includes both the meat and the bone, often with some marrow inside. The meat around the bone is tougher, as it gets a lot of use during the animal’s movement, so it requires slow cooking methods like braising, stewing, or simmering to become tender and flavourful.
Beef shank is commonly used in dishes like:
Osso Buco (an Italian dish made with braised beef shanks, vegetables, and broth)
Beef Stew
Beef Broth or Stock (where the bones can be simmered for hours to extract flavour)
Slow-Cooked Pot Roast
The marrow inside the bone also adds richness to soups and stews.
