The Thor's Hammer Experience

The shank is one of the hardest-working muscles on the animal, which means deep flavor and rich collagen that transforms into silky gelatin during slow cooking. Our Wagyu genetics add marbling throughout, creating a roast that's both robust and luxurious. The dramatic bone-in presentation makes this a showstopper for special occasions.

Key Features:

• Dramatic bone-in presentation
• Rich collagen for velvety texture when braised
• Enhanced marbling from Wagyu genetics
• Perfect for slow cooking methods
• Feeds 4-6 people generously
