Beef Shin with Brioche Buns, Slaw & BBQ Sauce

By

My whole beef shin recipe requires a significant commitment of time, skill, and energy. In other words, it’s not to be taken lightly. However, the end result is undoubtedly worth all that effort. It’s one of those recipes that provides an enormous sense of wellbeing and achievement, filling you with pride every time you look at it. This cut of beef shin is often referred to as ‘Thor’s Hammer’, a nickname that adds extra reverence among hardcore BBQ enthusiasts. Whilst perhaps not as moist as the more traditional smoking brisket, this whole shin has a visual appeal that is hard to match. When cooked with care and a great deal of patience, ensuring the moisture is retained, the final product can be truly impressive. Flaked into a bun with lashings of BBQ sauce and a bright, crunchy slaw, it’s a dish that exudes good vibes and is sure to impress those who join you to enjoy it 😋

Serves: 8-10 hungry peeps

Prep time: 1 hours

Cook time: 11 hours

Ingredients

BBQ Sauce

Slaw

Method

Begin with the Shin

  1. Add the salt, sugar, and ancho chilli powder to a bowl and mix well to combine. Use this mixture to liberally season the shin, ensuring it is rubbed into all areas of the meat.
  2. Light your smoker and allow the coals or smoking wood chips to burn until the desired smoking temperature is reached. As the shin contains little fat, the smoker’s temperature should not rise above 110°C – slow and steady wins this race.
  3. Place the shin on the grill and close the lid.
  4. Mix the vinegar and apple juice and pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
  5. After 2-hours, flip the shin and spray it liberally with the apple juice and vinegar solution, then cook for another 2-hours.
  6. Remove the shin from the grill and spray it liberally again with the vinegar and apple juice solution. Then wrap the shin securely in barbecue paper or tin foil, keeping the bone exposed. If there is any remaining juice and vinegar solution, it can be added to the wrapped shin.
  7. Return the shin to the smoker and cook for a further 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender. Finally, remove the shin from the smoker and leave it to rest for at least 1-hour before serving.

To Make the BBQ Sauce:

  1. Set a saucepan over medium heat, add the cinnamon and star anise, and toast them in the dry pan.
  2. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, along with the diced onion, chopped garlic, and bay leaves. Season with salt and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and sweet.
  3. Add both paprikas and the ancho chilli powder, and cook for 2-minutes. Then add the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and coffee, along with a glass of water. Season with a little more salt, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-minutes.
  4. Remove the star anise and cinnamon, and use a hand blender or food processor to blitz the sauce until smooth.
  5. Return the sauce to the pan and reduce to the desired consistency. Check for seasoning, acidity, and sweetness. Adjust with more salt, sugar, or vinegar as necessary.

To Make the Slaw

  1. Tip the cabbage, onion, fennel, and carrots into a mixing bowl, and season well with salt. Leave to sit for 10-minutes.
  2. Add 3-tablespoons of vinegar and the same amount of olive oil, along with the chopped dill. Stir well, then leave for a further 10-minutes.
  3. Check for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

To Serve

  1. Unwrap the shin from the paper or foil and pull the meat away from the bone. Then, using a couple of forks, shred the meat.
  2. Cut open the brioche buns and gently toast them, either on the BBQ if it’s still hot, or under the grill.
  3. Load the buns with the pulled shin, barbecue sauce, and slaw, and tuck right in!

  • Much of the beef on tables and in kitchens at this time of year comes from Bill Whittaker’s herd of Belted Galloway cattle. They graze land in the shadow of Ingleborough, feeding on diverse forage shaped by limestone ground. It is land that suits the cattle, and cattle that suit the land. We usually receive Bill’s beef once a year, when it is ready. It is always a good moment when it arrives. Beef like this cannot be rushed. It follows the season. This is the way we like to work. Smaller farms, running the right cattle on the right ground, producing beef that fits the rhythm of the year. As we head into the new year, we are always keen to hear from other farmers working with native breeds, regenerative systems, and properly pasture-fed livestock. If that sounds like you, and you have something coming through, do get in touch.
  • Sometimes it takes a new perspective, a fresh angle, to see the value in things. To reverse a perception that might be long held and deeply ingrained. But when we achieve that moment of clarity, the bright light of revelation, the effect can be significant. A door opened and a new future imagined. Too much? Well, probably. But maybe, just maybe your eyes really are being opened to a new way. A future of menu writing with the possibility of a new ‘butchers’ steak’; move over bavette, onglet and Denver and step into the spotlight the chuck eye steak. Traditionally, a chuck, to butchers and chefs is most likely to conjure images of pies, stews and bourguignons. Your archetypal braising cut, or so it had been assumed. We don’t believe it should be confined by these parameters and are rather taken with the idea of it becoming your new favourite secondary steak. The chuck is the muscle that extends from the ribeye into the neck, like a pork collar, meaning it has good natural marbling and a nice, open texture. Cooked pink, with a great crust and basted in brown butter, it truly is an excellent steak. For maximum value, snaffle yourself a whole chuck, trim away some of the meat that runs around the eye, reserving for something braised and delicious, then cut yourself some choice steaks. You won’t regret it.
  • A rich, booze-laden beast of a pie. This is no ordinary mince pie. It is deep-filled, indulgent and made with real craft by @joshwhiteheadchef of @finer_pleasures. We are down to the last few. Our mailing list heard about them yesterday, which is why they are moving quickly. If you want first sight of future specials, sign up. Josh has been working on this recipe for three years. It is rooted in Hannah Glasse’s 1747 mince pie, where meat was once part of the mix. He has taken that idea and turned it on its head, using the clean, buttery fat from our native-breed cattle in place of suet. The filling is dried fruit soaked since July in Armagnac, aged port, Madeira and homemade ginger wine. There are ceps cooked slowly in brown sugar syrup until they turn to toffee. And yes, a little Bovril. Trust Josh, it works. Bake at 185°C until golden, let it sit for two minutes, then eat warm. A dusting of icing sugar finishes it well. Serve with cream, custard or brandy butter. A very special mince pie, and nearly gone.
  • Highland cattle get photographed a lot. They are turned into cuddly toys. But beneath the coat is a hardy animal that can stand the worst of a Yorkshire winter. That is why Andy Lambert grazes them high on the Dales, on rough ground where few other breeds would thrive. They are the one of the few cattle that can turn this hard landscape into rich, delicious beef. It feeds our chefs and home cooks across the country. We are grateful for them, and it is always a pleasure to see them on the tops.

One of the motivations for operating a whole carcass butchery model is access to the other bits – offal and ‘butchers cuts’. For us, they are just as important a part of the picture as the more famous, prime cuts. So, it gives us immense satisfaction that we now sell more of these delights then we ever have. For chefs understand that these cuts and organs offer something a little different. Yes, in terms of flavour and value but also, we think, in terms of creativity. A ribeye or a rack of lamb might inspire more classic garnishes, whereas an ox heart or a pig’s tongue allow the imaginations run a little freer.
