Beef Shin Chilli Con Carne

I’m often asked: ‘What’s your best cut?’ That’s like asking a parent which child is their favourite – impossible to answer! One needs to take into account the season, the dish you wish to create, whom you’re cooking for and the occasion. Beef shin is our most underrated cut. It’s the cheapest piece on a beef carcass and works wonders as a braising cut. You can braise, shred, cook it into a pie or let it cool and work it into a salad. It goes pretty well with chilli con carne too.
