Experience deep, slow-cooked flavour with our Fresh British Halal Beef Bone-In Shin – Prime, Grass-Fed. Sourced from British, grass-fed, halal-certified (non-stunned) cattle, this cut is loaded with natural marbling and rich beefy taste.

The bone and connective tissue gently break down during cooking, releasing collagen and flavour into your dish – giving you melt-in-the-mouth meat and a silky, restaurant-quality gravy or sauce. Ideal for braising, stews, curries, nihari, and osso buco.

Cooking Guide – Braised Grass-Fed Beef Shin

1. Season:
   Pat dry and season generously with salt, pepper and your favourite herbs or spices (rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, smoked paprika, or garam masala work beautifully).

2. Brown the Meat:
   Heat a little oil in a heavy pan and sear the shin on all sides until nicely browned. This step adds deep flavour.

3. Braise Slowly:

   • Transfer to a casserole dish, Dutch oven or slow cooker.

   • Add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes or your chosen veg.

   • Pour in stock, water or a mix of stock and tomato/passata until the meat is partially covered.

   • Cook low and slow:

     • Oven: 150–160°C for 4–5 hours

     • Slow Cooker: Low for 6–8 hours

   • Cook until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

4. Rest & Serve:
   Let it rest for 10 minutes, skim excess fat if needed, then serve with creamy mash, rice, naan, crusty bread or roasted vegetables.

Enjoy the bold, natural flavour of our Fresh British Halal Beef Bone-In Shin – Prime, Grass-Fed – a true slow-cooking favourite that turns simple ingredients into a rich, comforting, and nourishing meal.
