Meat
Shank
Shank of Yak is collagen-packed lower leg for osso buco-style braises. Long moist heat until spoon-tender. Cook yak shank to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Grilling, stewing, and dried meat show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
