The Magic of Beef Shin: For Melt-in-Your-Mouth Tenderness and Rich Flavour
Beef Shin is a cut that is treasured by seasoned chefs and passionate home cooks alike for its incredible potential. Sourced from the hardworking leg muscle of the cow, this cut is naturally lean but rich in connective tissue (collagen) and marrow. While this might make it tough for quick cooking, it is the very reason it is a superstar of slow cooking.![]() |
| Premium Beef Shin and Knuckles |
When simmered gently over a low heat, this connective tissue breaks down, transforming into a tender, gelatinous texture that enriches your stew or soup with a deep, savoury, and unmatched beefy flavour. The meat becomes incredibly tender, literally falling off the bone.
Our Beef Shin is the perfect choice for:
- The Ultimate Hearty Beef Stew: Create a stew where the meat is so tender it can be cut with a spoon, and the gravy is thick, rich, and deeply flavourful.
- Flavourful Broths and Soups: The marrow bone at the center of the shin adds immense nutritional value and a robust taste to any soup base, making it both delicious and nourishing.
- Authentic Traditional Zimbabwean Dishes: It's the ideal cut for dishes like "nyama yemabhonzo" and other traditional recipes that require slow simmering to bring out the most authentic and satisfying flavours.
The Power of Beef Knuckles: The Ultimate Flavour and Nutrition Enhancer
Beef Knuckles (or soup bones) are a powerhouse of flavour and nutrition, and the unsung hero of any great stock or broth. While not prized for their meat, these large, marrow-filled bones are the key to creating an incredible depth of flavour in any dish they are added to. When slow-simmered, beef knuckles release collagen, marrow, gelatin, and essential minerals, creating a deeply flavourful and nutrient-dense broth that forms the foundation of countless recipes.Our Beef Knuckles are ideal for:
- Creating Rich, Gelatinous Stock: This homemade stock is the secret to incredible soups, gravies, sauces, and stews, far superior to anything store-bought.
- Enhancing the Flavour of Any Dish: Adding a knuckle bone to your pot of beans, vegetables, or relish will elevate the taste of your entire dish to a whole new level.
- A Nutritious Boost for Your Family: Bone broth made from knuckles is packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium, as well as collagen, which is known for its benefits to joint, skin, and gut health.
