Cooked beef shank is a flavorful cut derived from the leg portion of the cow, prized for its robust taste and tender texture when slow-cooked. Commonly used in cuisines worldwide, it’s a staple in Chinese dishes like braised beef shank and Italian osso buco. Rich in protein, iron, and zinc, it supports muscle repair, immune health, and energy production. However, beef shank is also higher in fat, especially saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. It contains collagen-rich connective tissue, which breaks down into gelatin during cooking, contributing to joint health and gut support. Typically served braised, simmered, or stewed, this cut is excellent for hearty meals that deliver both nutrition and comfort. Pairing it with vegetables and whole grains can balance its richness for a wholesome dish.
