This cut comes from animals that spent their entire lives grazing on open land, eating a grass and forage diet, without antibiotics, hormones and with no grain finishing, ever. The classic osso buco cut with rich marrow center—the way beef used to taste before industrial agriculture changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Our Beef Is Different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur cattle eat a grass and forage diet their entire lives, spending every day on open pasture—no feedlots, no grain finishing, no confinement. They receive no antibiotics or growth hormones, ever. All our animals are born and raised in the USA, and specifically, our beef is born in Texas, raised in Texas, and processed in Texas. We partner with a collective of regenerative ranchers who are committed to restoring the land while raising exceptional beef. By grazing cattle the way nature intended, we're healing soil, sequestering carbon, and producing beef that's better for you and the planet. Every order ships frozen for freshness, vacuum-sealed and delivered directly to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross-cut beef shank is sliced across the leg bone, creating rounds with marrow-filled bone centers. The classic cut for osso buco. Rich, gelatinous meat surrounds the prized marrow. Grass-fed beef from pasture-raised cattle develops a cleaner, more robust flavor profile compared to grain-finished alternatives—you're tasting beef the way it was meant to be, before feedlots became the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Prepare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, braise in liquid at 300°F for 3-4 hours until meat is tender and falling off the bone. The marrow enriches the braising liquid—don't skip it. Season with aromatics, wine, and stock. Grass-fed shank becomes incredibly tender with proper slow cooking. Serve with the marrow for the full experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipes Using This Cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut it to work in your kitchen:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/recipes\/ancient-medicine-in-a-pot-grassfed-beef-bone-broth\" title=\"Texas Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth\"\u003eTexas Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/recipes\/bordeaux-braised-grass-fed-beef-chuck-roast-recipe\" title=\"Bordeaux-Braised Grass-Fed Beef Chuck Roast\"\u003eBordeaux-Braised Grass-Fed Beef Chuck Roast\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Texas Grass Fed Farms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44578965454893,"sku":"BF-BBQ-SHANK-CC","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/2775\/0957\/files\/coming-soon-image-on-white-background.-no-photo-available.-2173059563_650x540_e3150f22-22de-4e43-8166-9cef3ccb1032.jpg?v=1770004277","url":"https:\/\/texasgrassfedfarms.com\/products\/texas-grass-fed-beef-shank-cross-cut","provider":"Texas Grass Fed Farms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
