Beef hind shank is a flavorful, bone-in cut from the lower leg of the cow, perfect for slow-cooking methods like braising and stewing. This center-cut shank features rich marbling and a center marrow bone that adds depth and body to broths and sauces. When slow-cooked, the connective tissue breaks down to create tender, fall-off-the-bone meat with intense beefy flavor.

This cut is sold at an average weight of approximately 5 pounds per package and is trimmed to 1/4 inch fat. The bone-in presentation keeps the meat moist during cooking while the marrow provides additional richness. Beef hind shanks are ideal for classic preparations like osso buco, beef bourguignon, hearty stews, and rich bone broths.
