Each beef soup bone is a section of the beef shank. This cut is also known as cross cut beef shank. The soup bone consists of a marrow filled bone surrounded by lean meat.
As one of the most used muscles on the animal, the meat on the shank is tough unless cooked low and slow which makes it melt-off-the-bone tender.
You can braise beef soup bones in a tomato based broth to make a delicious version of osso bucco. They are also an excellent way to add extra depth of flavor and nutrients to your next batch of bone broth or beef stew.
Each From the Farm Beef Soup Bone is two inches thick and weighs just over two pounds which is enough to serve two people.
