Shin Loin of Beef

[albaqwerty]

son is threatening to bring some home. It's what they call it at his work. Any thoughts on how to cook it please. I've no idea whether it's sliced or a lump type thingy.

Never heard of that cut. This might help.

Shin`s from the front leg and (sir)loin is from the back so it can`t be both. Maybe it`s a regional slang term. If it`s shin, that a cheap cut so would be best for casseroles and sirloin is steak.

Shin of beef cooked slowly makes an amazing casserole. All the white sinews that you see melt away so dont be put off by them. The best flavour ever for a cheap cut of meat.

Bought shin of beef a few week ago to make a casserole, with dumplings. Started cooking it on Friday night and by the time Saturday dinner time came around, absoltuely mouth watering (didn't have it on cooking for 36 hours btw)

I'll let you know what the hang it is when/if he brings some home.As he said, it's what they call it at their work. Many thanks folks x

i have been a masterbutcher for many years, there is no such cut as shin loin of beef two totally different cuts of meat.even though there are regional variations in names of cuts of meat no butcher would lump the name of two cuts from different parts of a bullock together
