What Is Beef Shin (Brazuelo / Shank)?
Beef shin — also commonly referred to as brazuelo or shank — is a cut from the lower leg of the cattle. This cut includes muscle and connective tissue that becomes tender and flavorful when cooked properly with slow and moist heat methods. According to product definitions like those used by Del Sur Beef, this cut comes from the extremity of the humerus, radius, and tibia muscles.

Nutrition & Health Benefits
Beef shin is not only rich in flavor; it offers a balanced nutrient profile that makes it a smart choice for health-minded chefs and consumers. Although nutrition varies by preparation, studies show beef shin as a source of high-quality protein, essential minerals, and collagen that converts to gelatin during slow cooking, contributing to rich texture and potential joint-health benefits.
- High Protein Content: Supports muscle growth and maintenance.
- Rich in Collagen: Breaks down into gelatin — ideal for soups and broths.
- Essential Minerals: Contains iron and zinc important for immunity and metabolism.
- Natural Energy Source: Moderate fat content with nutrient-dense marrow.
Best Cooking Methods for Arm Beef Shin/Shank
Due to its connective tissue and muscular structure, the best culinary approaches emphasize slow and low heat. Typical cooking techniques include:
- Braising: Slow simmering with broth, wine, or stock.
- Stewing: Long-duration stewing with vegetables and herbs.
- Slow Roasting: In enclosed vessels to tenderize deeply.
- Pressure Cooking: To speed up collagen breakdown without sacrificing flavor.
These methods allow tough fibers and connective tissue to break down into rich, savory, melt-in-your-mouth meat — ideal for traditional recipes like osso buco or hearty beef stews
