Looking for a new roast to try? Try pork shank a tough cut that becomes juicy tender and flavorful when cooked slowly and at a low temperature.
Pork shank is a cut of meat from the front leg of the pig just below the shoulder. A pork shank may also include some of the knuckle (ankle) or hock meat on the underside. Because they are often cut into smaller more manageable pieces than pork shoulder—as small as a pound each—pork shanks can be a convenient easy roast that doesn't require as large a pot or as long a cooking time as larger cuts.
