As a chef, she did it beautifully, but it is a subpar cut of meat that should as she stated be used for tacos and people hype it because “hurr gurr thor hammer”. For the price, I would rather get a tomahawk from a restaurant with a Michelin star for like 100 bucks with sides included. Better than offcuts left on the bone for a markup.
It’s a traditional cut for many cultures. Germans, French, and Greece to name a few. It is better prepared as a roast or braised because of the bone. The bone makes the most amazing gravies and sauces. Don’t buy it for this type of thing because she is correct: it isn’t worth it when cooking in this method.
@@azurastar3223you can just buy bones for much Cheaper. I get them for $2-$3 a pound. Some places will just give you some if you’re already buying other stuff.
@@keithbrown6242 it depends though. For someone like me, there would be no way of justifying a purchase like that, as I'm not too interested in food and only eat a meal from heaven (which costs a couple hundred in ingredients alone, we make it st home) once a year. That doesn't look half as good, and takes at minimum twice as long to prepare. It does cost a lot less, but it's once a year lol.

Tomahawk steaks are disgusting. All that bone and none of the meat. It's a very small amount of meat, also they say it's not grown and mixed with Dinosaur DNA.

We have a soup dish here in the Philippines using the shanks we call it bulalo. Boil that for 2 to 3 hours put some green leafy vegetables, corn, spring onions. Season with salt and pepper and you have a great soup!
I have seen signs and whatnot for that when visiting these highlands in... Cavite, was it? Is it worth it? I've honestly not gone around a lot since the pandemic stranded me here. I mean yeah, it's over, but I've spent too much relocating my stuff to go back to CA, so I'm here for the long haul.
@@AmandaFessler If you've ever had "Nilagang Baka", Bulalo tastes very similar to that (they're practically cooked the same way anyway). Bulalo just has that bone marrow and as the meat is attached to the bone it's more "succulent", I guess.
@@AmandaFessler Yup. TBH, people just go to the highlands for the atmosphere (because it's a bit colder there than the cities) and the hot soup of the Bulalo just goes so well with that.
Bozo, tell me you've never worked in a kitchen without telling me you've never worked in a kitchen 😂 I swear people on the internet love to pretend like y'all know stuff.
You don't use filet mignon for stuff like that 🤨... A simple roast will suffice. She's right as far as what people are trying to use it for. But filet mignon is its own cut, and cook prep.
These are £25 from our farm shop. I usually suggest that customers cook them sous vide for around ten hours as this is a very cheap cooking method. Then save the wonderful juices for a sauce or gravy and finish in the oven for around 80 minutes. Delicious!
As a butcher, I hate this video, doing it in this style is a waste! Beef shank is best for stew! when cut into steaks you slow cook it to render out the bone marrow, enhancing the flavor of the meat and any ingredients you add. That “$80” thors hammer, could feed a family of ten when made as a stew
As a mexican, why would you want to make tacos with this cut of beef? Rather to use it to make caldo de res or something waaaay more tasty that smoked meat tacos (not my stile but gringos go ahead). Seems that everyone is looking to smoke everything, and tbh taco’s aint one of them.
Local butcher sells beef shank cuts at $3.99/lb - arrange ahead of time, can buy entire shank at same price. Second shop sells the 'hammer' trimmed shank for $12.99/lb. Price for making it look like a hammer. Just buy a full uncut shank. I've done that. Makes an incredibly beefy roast. Finnish it a beef braise with veggies.
Been saying that for years you are better off using a poor man’s Chuck roast with some beef tallow to finish!! Great video and thank you for spreading facts!!!
Looks good because of her cooking. The meat does have crazy tough connective tissue throughout. Chuck roast will be even more tender, cheaper, and you are paying for meat only instead of meme bone. If you insist on this cut then buy the whole shank. You'll get the meat they cut off from the handle part, and it will be cheaper per pound because it's not a weird meme cut.
I cant eat tongue.....i had a horrific experiance as a kid when my grandmother gave me a tongue sandwich and it was just poking out the edge of the bread like when you poke ur tongue out ur mouth@@Masteralyssa
Not a waste. The bone marrows in these are very rich and flavorful. The meat on the shank itself can also get very tender and juicy. Alot of South Americans uses this cut to make alot of great cuisine. Im of Southeast Asian decent, and we love the shank and the bone that comes with it in our Pho broth or beef stew.
@Secret-cj5mx and my point is, it aint much of a waste if u know wat to do with the bone. Its literally one of the cheapest cuts. Even cheaper than Chuck, which is the best substitute
@@Secret-cj5mx Not the same. While you can do cook with other bones the flavor will not be same. Plus, that bone in video can make stew for an family for week!
@@fobija1378 but the meat won’t last for a week, besides you’re overlooking the fact that you can change the flavour of the bone marrow to be just as good as that bones marrow with other ingredients, so you’d still save money and get the same result
Once you wrap the meat, the smoker is just a heat source. After wrapping I put the meat in the oven where temp is controlled without any fuss. And.. I have an integrated temperature probe that shuts down the oven once I hit target.🤷
@@leejones3155 yeah I understood that but I guess it didn’t come across, what I meant was it would cook the same. Also, why is it not technically being smoked once it’s covered in foil even if it’s on the smoker? Is it because the smoke isn’t actually touching the meat so it doesn’t get a smoky flavor or something like that?
Ironically no matter how many different ways and cuts of meat i cook, i end up making tacos out of them. Nothing beats beef wrapped in a corn tortilla saturated in a spicy flavorful salsa
I’m a butcher. I can buy choice shanks for 2.99 a lb and I sell the Thors Hammer for 3.99 a lb. Your average roast will be 20-25 bucks. Not a bad deal, escpecially if you have a dog to give that bone to
@@igotfriendsinlowplaces2971I’m not sure I’d call that person a karen, it’s been proven with strong enough dogs they have the possibility to shatter the bone easier and sharp things inside a dog might not be as safe as we’d like it to be
@@Nerobyrnewhich isn't that much. One of these where I live goes for about 15-20 bucks. For the same amount of meat with a chuck roast you'd be spending 30-40 bucks.
That beef looks awesome and I probably wouldn’t have tacos. Beef sandwich, beef with mash and vegetables, just beef! Love it. You can take the cheapest cut of meat and if cooked properly can be excellent just like that hammer is. Besides how much effort went into cooking it? Not much, the smoker does all the work.
@@shredallday84 no I love all Mexican food, I guess I just wasn’t feeling it that day. You some times you’re just not in the mood for something? Now you have me thinking about im going to go get some, there’s actually a Mexican restaurant just around the corner from and the food is fantastic, tacos are excellent!
there aren't enough of them. Thats why they haven't enslaved us yet. They have to get past the 'females don't need males anymore' problem of reproduction. I heard the grays entire civilization is like 2k individuals.
You could braise it too, sear the edges crispy and sweat mirepoix, reduce red wine and add some beef/veal stock. It's a little more then this but you get the idea and it'll be juicy and delicious!!
It's to treat yourself, and that time you cooking are for yourself to calm down from all the problem you have, maybe invite your friend to play or chatting around
Y’all aren’t listening. She’s saying it’s not worth it for the excessive hours of cooking time & how little meat there is for something that big. It’s a showpiece but I’d rather do a brisket, beef cheeks or a chuck any day of the week over this for a normal cook 🤷🏻♂️
@wonderful4life not worth it just like, in general really. For the same amount of money you spend on this, you could get more meat that's just as good if not better. There's no real reason to buy it other than for show purposes, because it looks nice or fancy or whatever.

Thank you for saying it. There are a lot of other cuts of meat that look great but the meat itself can only be used if it is finally chopped or boiled for hours and hours after you’ve done smoking it. I’m so glad because you see so many people doing this and saying that it taste so wonderful.
Excellent take. I think for me in NYC with the highest energy costs in the country after they shut our nuke plant, it costs me more to cook sweet potatoes at 375 for 1.5 hours than they are at the store
1) she literally encrusted it with pepper. You could not see meat when she put it on the pit 2) the flavor of smoked meat comes from the smoke. That's the point of smoking it Sorry she didn't douse it in Tex Joy and Old Bay's
you know most of these videos titled "this thing is BAD" usually end up being "actually it's GREAT you just SUCK at making it right" I appreciate how straightforward this is
“It’s not bad tasting meat;” meanwhile it is falling off the bone, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious said the chef. For $80 that’s a lot of meat.
I'm not sure if it's a where you live thing, but for 80$, that's not much meat at all. And I'm not even talking about comparing it to the cheapest thing you can find.
@@octoberwildsmoke9065 genuinely curious… 🤨 How does one feed a family for two days off of the bone marrow of one bone?

Sorry, I just really don’t know how to respond to this…
Beef shank is a meat that has to be braised slowly. Ideal for osso bucco, has way more flavor than veal shanks and costs only half of the money you pay for the veal
If you paid $80 then you git ripped off. The most I've paid for one is about $40. Also, it's a great cut of meat. It's not meant to feed several people, but it can fill up a good 2-3. Or one hungry warrior.
For real where'd she even get it from? Overpaying, ignoring the marrow, using it as taco meat instead of letting it stand on its own... She set herself up for monetizable disappointment.
Just get brisket meat. Less than 10$ for a few lbs where I’m from. Pressure cooker with ketchup, Worcestershire brown sugar, mustard powder, onion powder, garlic powder for 2-ish hours. Rest for 10-20mins and go crazy.
@@FKDame yea it's what she used in the video it's a real tender meat that you cook on low for a long time ! You can get smaller pieces at the grocery store or meat market . ENJOY !!!!
Put it in the slow cooker with carrots and onions. After about 8hours add tomato puree with herbs, bay leafs and gravy mix.and it turns out amazing. An ideal to come home to after a long day at work. You can add new potatoes when you put it in the slow cooker. The potatoes absorb the meat flavour. If you want to be fancy add a red wine....delicious.😊

have you tried the stingray steak? so much better than the tomahawk. /s

Tomahawk is worth it !
@@daktraveler56tomahawks are good but not much meat on the bones and they’re very expensive depending on where you get them
@@daktraveler56 What benefit do you find in paying for the giant frenched bone? Is the spectacle worth it?
Tomahawk is still a ribeye, the justification comes from getting a thicker than normal steak in my opinion. The bones a gimmick I guess, but a ribeye is always going to be worth it
We have a soup dish here in the Philippines using the shanks we call it bulalo. Boil that for 2 to 3 hours put some green leafy vegetables, corn, spring onions. Season with salt and pepper and you have a great soup!

I have seen signs and whatnot for that when visiting these highlands in... Cavite, was it? Is it worth it? I've honestly not gone around a lot since the pandemic stranded me here. I mean yeah, it's over, but I've spent too much relocating my stuff to go back to CA, so I'm here for the long haul.
@@AmandaFessler If you've ever had "Nilagang Baka", Bulalo tastes very similar to that (they're practically cooked the same way anyway). Bulalo just has that bone marrow and as the meat is attached to the bone it's more "succulent", I guess.
@@ninetyninenights6226Oh. Huh. I guess there must be something special about marrow then. Is that the one with the plantains and cabbage?
@@AmandaFessler Yup. TBH, people just go to the highlands for the atmosphere (because it's a bit colder there than the cities) and the hot soup of the Bulalo just goes so well with that.
Thanks for the honesty
Cooking time, 15 hours. Eating time, 15 minutes...🤣🤣🤣

Right😂
More like 5 for me
That's why rich people can afford to eat this.
Holding the bone with a glove and smearing mustard with no glove😂😂
I just commented same thing💀💀 like what was the point
was looking for this comment
You only need to wear a glove after you are done cooking it. Any bacteria from the hand will be killed while it cooks
Bozo, tell me you've never worked in a kitchen without telling me you've never worked in a kitchen 😂 I swear people on the internet love to pretend like y'all know stuff.
But wait!!! It gets better..The scene just a second prior to that, bare hand holds bone while glove hand slaps meat. 😂😂
My dog sure doesn’t think it’s a waist of time. He needs that bone.. lol
Waste. Waist is what's on your body.
you shouldn't be giving your dog cooked bones.
Cooked bones are dangerous for dogs
Your dog is going to change his mind when the cooked bone splinters and injures their mouth/throat/stomach

Glad everyone's calling her out on the BS... This looks amazing! And not everyone can afford Filet Mignon to use for tacos and pull sandwiches...
You don't use filet mignon for stuff like that 🤨... A simple roast will suffice. She's right as far as what people are trying to use it for. But filet mignon is its own cut, and cook prep.
These are £25 from our farm shop. I usually suggest that customers cook them sous vide for around ten hours as this is a very cheap cooking method. Then save the wonderful juices for a sauce or gravy and finish in the oven for around 80 minutes. Delicious!
Matey where is your farm shop I must know
Lovely! Wish I could visit your farm shop too, but as you are speaking in pounds, and I speak I dollars, I send you great thoughts from afar.
Right on brother! Some people just gotta learn how to cook.
@@Golden_CloudsHot 😊
Right?!? So much potential with the juices the marrow the meat THE BONE ITS SELF
Wasted for taco meat
As a butcher, I hate this video, doing it in this style is a waste! Beef shank is best for stew! when cut into steaks you slow cook it to render out the bone marrow, enhancing the flavor of the meat and any ingredients you add. That “$80” thors hammer, could feed a family of ten when made as a stew
As a butcher I feel the same way and agree
This cut should be braised
As a mexican, why would you want to make tacos with this cut of beef? Rather to use it to make caldo de res or something waaaay more tasty that smoked meat tacos (not my stile but gringos go ahead). Seems that everyone is looking to smoke everything, and tbh taco’s aint one of them.
100% i just commented on the bone marrow being wasted 😂😂😂 though i would still cook it like this, just scoop out the marrow 😂😂😂
As a butcher and Mexican I agree. On top of that it is stupid to use this cut for tacos. For tacos just use top sirloin with a bit of peeled knuckle.
It's for a single warrior not a family
😂😂
I'd eat that with a horn of mead 😂!
No it is not it can feed a family of 6 and it’s really not that expensive as opposed to other cuts

Local butcher sells beef shank cuts at $3.99/lb - arrange ahead of time, can buy entire shank at same price. Second shop sells the 'hammer' trimmed shank for $12.99/lb. Price for making it look like a hammer.
Just buy a full uncut shank. I've done that. Makes an incredibly beefy roast. Finnish it a beef braise with veggies.
You definitely don't live in California. You should see the prices out here and the damn cows come from here

Been saying that for years you are better off using a poor man’s Chuck roast with some beef tallow to finish!! Great video and thank you for spreading facts!!!
I do not believe you. That calf meat looks absolutely scrumptious
The best taco meat is beef tongue for 17$. If u know u know. Your welcome.
@@Masteralyssatripas mmmmmm
Looks good because of her cooking. The meat does have crazy tough connective tissue throughout. Chuck roast will be even more tender, cheaper, and you are paying for meat only instead of meme bone.
If you insist on this cut then buy the whole shank. You'll get the meat they cut off from the handle part, and it will be cheaper per pound because it's not a weird meme cut.
I cant eat tongue.....i had a horrific experiance as a kid when my grandmother gave me a tongue sandwich and it was just poking out the edge of the bread like when you poke ur tongue out ur mouth@@Masteralyssa
HOLY COW that beef looking scrumptious
Not a waste. The bone marrows in these are very rich and flavorful. The meat on the shank itself can also get very tender and juicy. Alot of South Americans uses this cut to make alot of great cuisine. Im of Southeast Asian decent, and we love the shank and the bone that comes with it in our Pho broth or beef stew.
her point is you can get similar for cheaper, she said it’s good but it’s just not worth the price
@Secret-cj5mx and my point is, it aint much of a waste if u know wat to do with the bone. Its literally one of the cheapest cuts. Even cheaper than Chuck, which is the best substitute
@@chavang3699 you can do the same with plenty of other bones, can even buy bones separately at a cheaper price
@@Secret-cj5mx Not the same. While you can do cook with other bones the flavor will not be same.
Plus, that bone in video can make stew for an family for week!
@@fobija1378 but the meat won’t last for a week, besides you’re overlooking the fact that you can change the flavour of the bone marrow to be just as good as that bones marrow with other ingredients, so you’d still save money and get the same result
Once you wrap the meat, the smoker is just a heat source. After wrapping I put the meat in the oven where temp is controlled without any fuss. And.. I have an integrated temperature probe that shuts down the oven once I hit target.🤷
That's awesome
So you’re essentially saying as long as I wrap meat in foil I can smoke it in the oven the same as over charcoal?
@@jeffaube3981 Technically once you wrap in foil you are no longer "smoking" the meat, just cooking it.
@@jeffaube3981You need to learn reading comprehension. Once the meat is covered in the smoker, it is no longer getting smoked, just cooked by heat.
@@leejones3155 yeah I understood that but I guess it didn’t come across, what I meant was it would cook the same. Also, why is it not technically being smoked once it’s covered in foil even if it’s on the smoker? Is it because the smoke isn’t actually touching the meat so it doesn’t get a smoky flavor or something like that?
Hey lady! That looks spectacular and I am sure tastes better than any expensive restaurant cooked beef. I'd cook it in a heartbeat.
If you listened, she didn't deny it tasted good, she just didn't think it was worth paying $80.

2) the flavor of smoked meat comes from the smoke. That's the point of smoking it

you know most of these videos titled "this thing is BAD" usually end up being "actually it's GREAT you just SUCK at making it right" I appreciate how straightforward this is
“It’s not bad tasting meat;” meanwhile it is falling off the bone, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious said the chef. For $80 that’s a lot of meat.
No it’s not
Dude you can get a chuck roast that's more meat than this for around 20 bucks, and chuck is a higher quality muscle
