Meat

Neck

Buffalo neck is economical, heavily worked meat laced with collagen and often sold bone-in. Long simmering turns it spoon-tender and thickens the cooking liquid into a natural glaze. Flavour is deep and beefy-sweet—ideal for stews, stocks, and mince once the bones are picked clean. Brown large pieces, cover with aromatic liquid, and cook low until the meat leaves the bone. Neck bones alone make excellent stock. Because yield includes bone, buy by usable meat weight for recipe planning.
