About Shank steak
Shank steak, derived from the muscular lower leg of a cow, is a flavorful and economical cut of beef known for its robust taste and dense texture. It's a key ingredient in slow-cooked dishes like soups, stews, and braises, often featured in cuisines such as Italian osso buco or traditional French pot-au-feu. Rich in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, shank steak supports muscle health and energy production. Its collagen content—released during extended cooking—offers natural gelatin beneficial for joint and skin health. However, it’s relatively high in fat and cholesterol, so moderation is recommended, particularly for heart health. Due to its toughness, shank steak is best suited for long, moist cooking techniques that transform it into a tender, satisfying choice for hearty meals. Its distinctive flavor and nutritional benefits make it a versatile and rewarding choice for culinary enthusiasts.
