"What is beef shin called in America?

Also known as the shank, it is a cut of beef taken from the front lower leg of a steer. Due to the connective tissue, this cut is very tough so it is commonly braised or slow cooked to tenderize the meat."

I have roasted them and made gelatinous broth from them.

I think braising the shin/shank is the best use for that cut of meat.

RP doesn't recommend using bone marrow bones for bone broth....

ME:
Good morning Dr. Peat!

Is there such a thing as too much bone broth? Can too much of is cause any harm?

RAY PEAT
Bone broth made with marrow bones can be harmful, because of the iron and fat. Cartilage and skin make the best gelatinous broth.
