About Beef shank
Beef shank is a cut from the lower leg of a cow, known for its dense connective tissue and rich flavor. Commonly featured in slow-cooked dishes such as stews, soups, and braised recipes, its origin spans global cuisines, including Italian osso buco and Asian broths. This meat is lean, offering a good source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Its gelatinous texture, derived from collagen, can provide amino acids beneficial for joint health when cooked. While beef shank is lower in fat compared to marbled cuts, it still contains saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Due to its toughness, beef shank is best cooked low and slow, resulting in tender meat and a depth of flavor ideal for hearty, comforting meals.
