Beef Shank

Beef shank is the leg portion of a cow and is known for having a rich and meaty flavor profile. It's characterized by a tough, heavy musculature, a bone running through the middle, and wonderfully rich marrow, which add depth to dishes. It's typically more economical due to its toughness, but this can be transformed into a soft, melt-in-your-mouth experience with slow, patient cooking. Often employed in soups, stews and braised dishes, beef shank yields a hearty taste that lends itself beautifully to comfort food. Cooking it low and slow causes the collagen-rich meat to become tender, while the marrow influences rich, silky broths or sauces. The result is a gastronomic delights, combining both taste and texture.
