Shin of Beef is a coarse cut of beef from the front leg that has truly delicious flavour when cooked slowly. Our expert butchers have removed the bone & trimmed this to leave a wholesale style piece. We have done this because you can then either cut this into slices, dice this up into cubes for stews, curry’s, or cook as a piece on the BBQ in a nice Jerk Rub. The size of this is approx 2 kilos & offers real value for money with little waste. Where the Shin of Beef comes from & how its is removed
The meat content is muscular & leaner than the back leg which makes this a perfect piece to try recipes from Africa or the Caribbean. Historically the “shin or leg of beef” has always been a cheaper cut & more readily available to families on a lesser income, & it’s because of this that all these wonderful recipes have been created through the need to improvise with standard ingredients. The simple ways of cooking this were borne out of necessity, but braising & stewing of this will make the meat very tender & release the great flavour of the grass-fed beef.
Sherwood Shin of Beef is vacuum sealed in minutes of production under very cold conditions to ensure that they are delivered to your door in perfect condition. Vacuum sealing is the best way to keep all the vitamins & minerals locked within the meat to give you the great results. The reason we cut & pack within a few minutes is to increase shelf life & to make the freshest beef possible before freezing.
We are always looking to reduce our use of plastic to lower our carbon foot print for a greener future. We don’t always pack small slices into bags, this is one of these whole items that gives generous amounts of slices whilst only using a single bag saving at least 3 bags. The pouches or bags we use for our vacuum packing are now generally stronger, thinner because this means less volume of plastic needed. The clear recyclable pouches are perfect for our customers at home or in the trade to recycle responsibly. How to recycle plastic
