Cut OverviewAbout This Cut

Beef shin is the lower leg of the animal, sold whole or in thick cuts on the bone. Extremely rich in connective tissue and marrow, which renders into pure flavour during slow cooking.

Tip: Save the bone. Roasted shin bone makes the best beef stock. Nothing else compares.

02Cooking
Bring to Room Temperature

Best Cooking Method
Low and slow braise in liquid (stock, wine, or tomato base) at 150-160°C for 3-5 hours until fork tender.
Seasoning
Season well before searing. The sear builds flavour. Salt after for crust.
Internal Temperature
Done when a fork slides in with no resistance. Internal ~93°C for fully rendered collagen.
Resting
Rest 15 minutes in the braising liquid before serving. Skim fat if desired.
