Whole Beef Leg Grilled in the Mountains

Beef shank, aka chamorro, is hands down one of the best cuts of meat for caldo de res. It starts off really tough, so cook it low and slow. Take your time and don’t rush it. You have to let the collagen break down so the meat becomes super tender and creates that thick, rich, delicious broth. Add some vegetables and you’ve got a homemade, high protein caldo that’s perfect for the cold season. Just trim some of the outside fat before cooking.
