Shank (meat)

A meat shank or shin is the portion of meat around the tibia of the animal, the leg bone beneath the knee.

Lamb shanks are often braised whole; veal shanks are typically cross-cut.

Some dishes made using shank include:

  • Bulalo, a Filipino beef shank stew.
  • Ossobuco alla milanese, an Italian veal shank dish.
  • Persian Biryani, with different shanks.
  • Nihari a spicy national dish of Pakistan.
  • cazuela with shank meat, popular in 19th century Chile during the nitrate boom.
