A Beef Knuckle?

[Pat Trammell]

This weekend at the local restaurant supply wholesaler I ran across a large (12-15 lb.) cut of meat called a "beef knuckle." Does anyone have any insight in what it was I was looking at? Can you cook in on the bullet?

Thanks!

Pat...

I have cooked several of these! I use them for jerky. Very lean and sorta cheap if I remember. It is part of the round and usually comes "peeled". Here is a photo......

I got away from it as other cuts were even cheaper.

But, I would not hesitate to use again. A very good butcher shop in Edwardsburg, MI uses knuckle for all their jerky making.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I can vouch for that. The guy does make good jerky. They also have excellent beef and sausage. I little expensive but worth it.
