22Beef Shank Meat (Boneless) | AGA Certified Grass-Fed (Avg Weight 2.0 lb pk)
The "Soup Master" — Lean, Gelatinous, and Deeply Flavorful. This is the secret to a crystal-clear, rich beef soup. Sourced from our partners at North Georgia Meat Company (NGM), this boneless shank meat comes from the leg of the steer. Unlike Chuck, which is loaded with fat, the shank is incredibly lean but packed with dense connective tissue. When simmered, this tissue breaks down into pure gelatin, giving your broth a silky mouthfeel without creating a layer of grease on top. It offers a concentrated, mineral-rich beef flavor that is distinct to hardworking muscles.
Why It’s a Staple: It is the "cleaner" alternative to standard stew beef. If you are making a vegetable beef soup, Vietnamese Pho, or a clear consommé, this is the cut you want. It stays firm enough to hold its shape but becomes tender enough to cut with a spoon, without clouding your stock with excess fat.
The Specs:

💡 The Chef’s Method: This meat loves liquid.
-
The Prep: Pat dry. Since it is lean, you don't need to trim it further.
-
The Brown: Sear it quickly in the bottom of your soup pot to develop flavor depth.
-
The Simmer: Cover with liquid and simmer gently. Do not rapid boil, or the meat will toughen.
-
Target Temp: Fork Tender. It takes time (2-3 hours) for the collagen to dissolve into gelatin. Test a piece—if it's chewy, it needs 30 more minutes.
