Pork Shank

Average Weight Per Pack 2lb

Pork shank is a flavorful, budget-friendly cut taken from the lower leg of the pig. Because it contains connective tissue and bone, it is best cooked slowly using methods such as braising, roasting, or simmering. Long, gentle cooking makes the meat tender and rich while adding body to broths, sauces, and stews. Pork shank works especially well with ingredients such as garlic, onions, herbs, tomatoes, beer, wine, and root vegetables. For a hearty meal, season the shank with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices, then cook it covered at a low temperature until the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
