Beef Shin

£7.20 – £17.46

Beef Shin from The Black Farmer is a truly exceptional cut that offers deep, rich flavours, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate hearty, slow-cooked dishes. Sourced from grass-fed, free-range cattle raised on local farms in Wiltshire, Somerset, and the South West, our beef shin embodies our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical farming practices.

Beef shin is known for its intense flavour and robust texture, making it ideal for slow cooking methods such as braising or stewing. When cooked slowly, the connective tissues in the shin break down, resulting in melt-in-the-mouth tenderness and a sauce or gravy that is thick, rich, and full of complex flavours. This cut is especially well-suited for classic dishes like Osso Buco, where the bone-in shin adds another layer of depth with its marrow.

This lean cut is also a healthy option, containing around 10% fat, making it a nutritious choice without compromising on taste. Whether you’re preparing a comforting stew for a family meal or an impressive dish for a weekend dinner, beef shin delivers a satisfying, flavour-packed experience every time.

    STORAGE ADVICE

    To ensure optimal freshness and quality, it is recommended to store the bag of Beef Shin properly. Place the bag in the refrigerator at a temperature below 40°F (4°C).

For longer-term storage, you can freeze the Beef Shin. Transfer the meat to airtight freezer-safe containers or resealable plastic bags, removing as much air as possible before sealing.

    COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

     

    To cook beef shin, follow these short instructions:
    1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
    2. Start by seasoning the beef shin with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the meat.
    3. Heat a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and sear the beef shin on all sides until browned. This step helps seal in the flavors.
    4. Remove the beef shin from the pot and set it aside temporarily.
    5. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook them until they begin to soften, usually around 5 minutes.
    6. Return the beef shin to the pot and add enough beef broth or stock to cover the meat by about halfway.
    7. Add any desired herbs and spices, such as bay leaves, thyme, or rosemary, to enhance the flavor.
    8. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover the pot, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
    9. Let the beef shin braise in the oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat becomes tender and easily pulls apart.
    10. After the cooking time, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
    11. Carefully remove the beef shin from the pot and slice or shred it as desired.
    12. Serve the beef shin with the braising liquid and vegetables as a delicious main dish.

    Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the beef shin. It’s always a good idea to check for doneness by testing the meat with a fork. If it easily falls apart, it’s ready to be served.
