Beef Shank

Whole shank · Gravy beef (AUS) — from the Shank primal.

Boneless shank meat — “gravy beef” in Australia, and the name says it all: no cut builds a richer, more body-filled sauce or broth. Its dense collagen network turns stews glossy and soups deeply savory in a way leaner cuts simply can’t.
