Beef shank is a cut of meat taken from the leg portion of a cow. It's known for being one of the tougher cuts of beef because it comes from the part of the animal that does a lot of work, which means it has a lot of muscle and connective tissue.
Despite its toughness, beef shank is highly flavorful and becomes incredibly tender and delicious when cooked properly.
The beef shank is typically characterized by its round shape with a bone in the center, surrounded by lean meat. The bone is marrow-filled, adding extra flavor and richness to dishes. Due to its tough nature, beef shank requires slow, moist cooking methods to break down the tough fibers and connective tissue.
Beef shank is used in a variety of dishes around the world. Its rich flavor enhances the taste of soups, stews, and braises. It's often used in Beef Bourguignon, a French stew that can include beef shank among other cuts, slowly cooked with wine, mushrooms, carrots, and onions. Broths and stocks, the bones from beef shank add depth and richness to homemade broths and stocks.
Beef shank is a lean cut of meat, making it a lower-fat option compared to other cuts of beef. It's also rich in protein and contains valuable nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are important for maintaining healthy blood, immune system, and overall energy levels.
