Beef Shin on the Bone, Whole 1.6 kg

A whole beef shin on the bone, expertly trimmed by one of our butchers to expose the bone and the rich marrow inside. Our whole beef* shins are dry-aged in a Himalayan salt chamber, enhancing their depth of flavour. This cut, also known as "Thor’s Hammer," requires long, slow cooking and has become a favourite among barbecue and smoking enthusiasts.

Chef George Ryle inspires:
"An overnight rub or marinade followed by several hours in the smoker, I always suggest wrapping a smoking joint in several layers of parchment paper once a good bark has formed. The meat will be falling off the bone by the end of the cook and ready to be stuffed inside a brioche bun with slaw and barbecue sauce. Try a Mexican marinade before the smoking and then serve with refried beans, corn tortillas and two or three salsas of varying levels of heat.

This shin can, of course, also be cooked in an oven - providing you have a big enough oven dish! With a mirepoix, smoked bacon lardons, fresh bay leaves, sprigs of fresh thyme, stock and lashings of red wine, one could make a fun variation on a classic boeuf bourguignon. Cooking on the bone will do wonders for the depth of flavour of the dish."
