How to cook beef shin
A rich cut when slow cooked, once largely forgotten but now returning to restaurant menus. To slow cook, lightly fry the Beef Shin before adding in a pre prepared mirepoix of chopped onion, carrot, and celeriac, continuing to lightly fry, before adding in half a bottle of red wine or a favourite ale, as well as beef stock, and cooking long and slow.
About the cut
Beef Shin
In British butchery the shin is taken from the fore shank, or the front legs of the beast, while the hind shank is referred to as the leg. As an overworked muscle of the beast, the meat here is typically tougher than the prime cuts, but the connective tissue breaks down upon slow cooking to offer melting tenderness in the pot. A forgotten cut being rediscovered by chefs and home cooks alike.
About the breed
Heritage
we'll choose from our selection of available breeds
It's good to eat and enjoy heritage breed meat from British breeds, showing farmers that there is a market for their herds and flocks and encourage them to rear them. Without a demand for their meat, many breeds would die out altogether. When intensive farming reigned unchallenged in the second half of the last century, many of our traditional breeds all but disappeared because they don't take kindly to factory farming. We want to change this and help more people realise that we need to safeguard the natural biodiversity of our farm animals and to demand meat with intrinsic flavour that comes from higher welfare systems. All of our meat fits that bill perfectly.
