Shank
Shank is a cut from the lower leg of cattle commonly used in slow-cooked dishes like braises, stews and soups; it’s popular in many cuisines for its rich, gelatinous texture when cooked low and slow. Per 100g it provides about 21.5g of protein, making it a solid choice when you want a hearty, protein-forward ingredient. It’s also a practical source of vitamin B12 and minerals such as zinc and selenium. Nutritionally and culinarily, Shank delivers high-quality protein and excellent satiety when included in long-cooked dishes; it’s prized more for its collagen and savory depth than for speed of preparation.
