Description

The beef shank from Greek farms is a tender and lean cut of meat from the leg portion of the cow, known for its rich and full flavor.

It has a light texture and ideal structure for slow and low cooking, as it absorbs flavors and aromatic herbs well, resulting in a juicy and fragrant dish.

The meat retains moisture and tenderness, and its structure makes it perfect for cooking methods that require low heat and long duration, offering a warm and flavorful eating experience.

The shank is rich in collagen, which breaks down during slow cooking to gelatin, providing a velvety mouthfeel and enhancing the richness and texture of sauces and broths.

This cut is prized for its nutritional value as well, being high in protein and essential minerals such as iron and zinc, making it both a delicious and healthy choice.
