Beef Shanks - $9/lb

One of my absolute favorite cuts: I like to use these in places where you’d typically just use “stew meat” because they’re more interesting and complex. These are cross-cut from the tibia and consist of a piece of bone surrounded by meat. Since it’s part of the cow’s leg, it works a heck of a lot, so there’s a bunch of connective tissue that needs a long enough cooking method to break down. These are super high in collagen, which you can get even more of if you cook them with Beef Bone Broth! You know those meals that after you’re done eating, you can smack your lips and they stick together…that’s what you can expect with these bad boys.
