beef shank
Tough braising cut
Beef shank is a cut of meat from the leg of a cow, containing a cross-section of bone surrounded by lean, sinewy meat.
The cut requires long, slow cooking to break down its tough connective tissue, making it ideal for braising, stews, and soups.
The marrow-rich bone adds body to broths.
Osso buco traditionally uses veal shank, but beef shank works similarly: She braised the beef shank until it fell off the bone.
