About Beef, shank crosscuts, separable lean only, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked, simmered
Simmered beef shank crosscuts end up remarkably high in protein and quite lean, especially after the fat renders and gets skimmed from the cooking liquid. The long moist heat converts the collagen-heavy connective tissue into gelatin, giving the meat a tender, almost silky quality that grilling never achieves. Serve the broth alongside the meat and you waste nothing.
