Veal Shank, Cross-Cut

Veal Shank, Cross-Cut is a cross-cut slice from the lower leg of young cattle, commonly used in slow-cooked, braised dishes (think osso buco) where the marrow and collagen give a rich, silky sauce. It’s prized for its depth of flavour and tender, gelatinous texture after long, slow cooking. Nutritionally it is a lean animal protein source, providing about 20.6g of protein per 100g, and contributes important B-vitamins (including vitamin B12) and minerals like zinc and niacin. This cut supplies high-quality amino acids and is very filling and nutrient-dense when prepared without excessive added fats; using braising or roasting methods lets you enjoy its flavour while keeping meals balanced.
