Veal shank is a cut of meat from the leg of a calf, typically sold as cross-cut slices including bone and marrow. It is renowned for its rich flavor and the collagen that breaks down during slow cooking, yielding a tender, unctuous result. This cut is most famously used in the Italian dish osso buco.
