Veal Shanks, Raw

Veal Shanks, Raw

EverydayRaw

Veal shanks are bone-in cuts from young cattle, prized for their collagen-rich meat and marrow-filled center bone. This tough, sinewy cut requires slow braising to break down connective tissues into gelatin, creating tender meat and rich sauces. The signature dish osso buco showcases its dual value as both protein source (providing iron and zinc) and flavor foundation through bone marrow infusion.
