Boneless Beef Shin

This is a great value cut that needs long, gentle cooking. From the lower part of the leg, beef shin with all its connective tissue rewards the patient cook with a really tasty, sticky, saucy casserole.

Price range: £9.78 through £29.33

Take your meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking - the bigger the cut the more time it needs to come to room temperature. Remember, meat is a muscle and needs to relax before it is cooked and after!

Can be stewed or braised at a simmer for 2hrs but for melt in your mouth meat cook on really low temperature for 4 to 6hrs. Either way, slowly stew beef shin with plenty of liquid i.e. red wine, beer or water and some stock vegetables and herbs.

Please remove all paper wrapping from your meat and place it on a plate in the fridge away from cooked items. This allows air to circulate around it properly, helping to prolong shelf life.

Average shelf life: 2-3 days.

Vacuum-packed meat can be put straight in the fridge and has a longer shelf life.
