A meat shank or shin is the portion of meat around the tibia of the animal, the leg bone beneath the knee and shoulder.
Lamb shanks are often braised whole; veal shanks are typically cross-cut.
Some dishes made using shank include:
- Bulalo, a Filipino beef shank stew.
- Ossobuco alla milanese, an Italian veal shank dish.
- Persian biryani, with different shanks.
- Nihari, a spicy national dish of Pakistan and a popular dish in North India and Bangladesh with origin in Delhi, India.
- Cazuela with beef shank meat, popular in 19th-century Chile during the nitrate boom.
- Portuguese Bifana can be several kind of meats in a bun, but "the real thing" is considered to be "febras de porco", pork shanks.
