Featured Special of the Week:

Beef shanks are on special this week, at $4.99/lb. If you've never tried them, they're a great slow-cooking cut, and the perfect alternative to the pricier veal osso buco. The shank is cut across the bone, in roughly 1-2" thick pieces, and the bone with its marrow is essential in adding flavor to the beef. These meaty cuts are also enhanced by the presence of connective tissue, which is ultimately dissolved into a flavorful sauce to finish the dish. We recommend this recipe as a traditional way to prepare this perfect winter comfort meal. Give this cut a try for its outstanding value and taste, and let us know what you think!
