BEEF RING SHANK is found on the leg of a beef, just above the knee or hock. This cut of meat is cut in horizontal cuts (cut 1-inch thick), which is why beef shank looks like a steak with a circle of the leg bone in each piece. Inside the bone there is piece of marrow that is edible as well.
Since beef shank is the leg parts of the animal, it is a tough, dry, sinewy piece of meat. Naturally, the legs are hard-working and so it is full of muscles, connective tissue, bone and joints. However, beef shanks can become extremely tender, as in; eat-it-with-a spoon-tender if it is cooked for a long time in moist heat (like simmering it all day in your crockpot). Therefore, braising or slow coking beef shank is ideal.
However, when slow cooked at a low temperature, the nutritional value of this cut really comes out. Bone and cartilage are rich source of important nutritional minerals, and the beef shank has a deep and rich flavor.
