A large, lean cut of beef that is often cooked in the smoker or oven, beef shank can be served as an entree or main dish. Its flavor is intense when smoked or braised.
The most popular way to cook beef shanks is to smoke them in a smoker grill. This process will give them a strong smoke flavor and will result in tender meat.
Another method of cooking beef shanks is to use them as a meat-on soup bone in beef broth recipes. The large marrow bone will break down into tender stew meat and create a rich, flavorful broth with the added bonus of adding healthy nutrients to your diet!
Grass fed beef shanks are also a great choice for slow cooker meals. Because they have a large marrow bone, they are ideal for creating a delicious beef osso buco, an Italian comfort food classic that is simple to make with just a few ingredients and a slow cooker.
