Wild Scottish Venison Shank – Rich, Succulent and Perfect for Slow Cooking
Full of rich, hearty flavour and wonderfully satisfying, Cowal Deer Venison Shank is a fantastic choice for anyone who loves traditional, slow-cooked meals. This beautifully flavourful cut comes from the lower leg of the deer and is particularly well suited to gentle, slow cooking, which transforms it into deliciously tender meat that falls away from the bone.
 
Sourced from wild deer roaming the hills and forests of Cowal and surrounding areas, our venison shank offers a wonderful alternative to traditional lamb or beef shank. Naturally lean, with connective tissue that softens during slow cooking, it develops a wonderfully rich flavour and creates beautifully satisfying sauces and gravies.
 
Carefully prepared in Cowal Deer's own larder in Sandbank, just minutes from Croot's Country Store, our venison is quality local produce with minimal food miles and genuine field-to-fork provenance.
 
Perfect for Slow-Cooked Comfort Food
Cowal Deer Venison Shank is made for long, gentle cooking, making it an excellent choice for hearty family dinners, special weekend meals and comforting winter suppers.
 
For delicious results, brown the shank in a little oil before adding onions, carrots, celery, garlic and fresh herbs. Pour in some red wine and a good-quality stock, then cover and cook slowly until the meat is beautifully tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
 
The slow cooking process allows the rich venison flavour to develop while creating a wonderfully deep, savoury sauce.
 
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery root vegetable mash or soft polenta to soak up every drop of the delicious gravy.
 
Venison shank is also ideal for slow cookers and makes a fantastic alternative to traditional osso buco-style dishes.
 
Whether you're preparing a warming family casserole or an impressive slow-braised meal for guests, Cowal Deer Venison Shank brings something truly special to your table.
