The Whole Shin is a tough, flavourful cut with plenty of collagen, ideal for slow cooking. Diced shin is ideal for casseroles or hearty stews. Cross-cut beef shanks with marrow bone, ideal for slow cooking, are known as Osso Bucco and Thor’s Hammer is a large bone-in beef shank, visually striking and packed with flavour.
Cooking & Serving Tips
Best for slow cooking, either braised or used in stews.
Sear the shin pieces first for deeper flavour, then slow-cook in stock and aromatics for several hours.
