Shin Beef

Beef shin is a traditional slow-cooking cut with rich flavour, ideal for stews, casseroles and hearty dishes. Find shin beef at The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, for comforting meals that benefit from gentle cooking over time.

How to cook: Brown the beef first, then simmer slowly in stock or gravy with onions, carrots and herbs until tender. It also works well in a slow cooker or as a base for a rich beef stew.

Perfect with: Mashed potatoes, dumplings, root vegetables or crusty bread. Slow cooking helps the meat become tender and develops a rich cooking liquid.

For classic slow-cook beef from your local Sandbach butcher, shin is a versatile choice for family meals and weekend cooking.
