Venison Osso Bucco Hind Shank

Broadleaf’s venison hind shank is cut into convenient 2-inch, 8-ounce pieces, perfect for braising into a rich and deeply satisfying osso bucco with a twist. Sourced from premium New Zealand red deer raised free-range on lush pastures, this cut showcases venison’s naturally lean, protein-rich character while remaining tender and full of flavor. Compared to the fore shank, the hind shank is larger, meatier, and offers a more substantial portion, making it the cut of choice for those who want a hearty, filling presentation at the table.

Best prepared low and slow, hind shank osso bucco yields a fork-tender texture and rich, savory taste that pairs beautifully with classic accompaniments like risotto Milanese or creamy polenta. The ample marrow bone at the center also adds luxurious depth to braising liquids and sauces, enhancing the dish with velvety richness. Ideal for entertaining or gourmet comfort meals, it delivers both rustic charm and refined flavor.

Since 1988, Broadleaf has specialized in sourcing premium game meats and specialty proteins from around the world. Their New Zealand venison is always grass-fed, free-range, and humanely raised, ensuring consistent quality, exceptional flavor, and a healthier alternative to other red meats.
