Think chuck steak, gravy beef (also known as beef shin, or Osso Bucco when sold with the bone in), and beef short ribs. These cuts are best saved for the slow cooker and not the pan or grill.

Shin can be bought on or off the bone ... Alternatively, use it in place of veal in osso bucco.

Osso buco means ‘bone with a hole’ and it’s traditionally made with shin of veal ... Return the meat to the pan and add the beef stock, lemon zest, ½ teaspoon salt and some pepper.
