Pork Shank
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 1/2 hours
Servings: depends on what you use it for
Ingredients:
3.71lb picnic pork shank half*
2 Tbs garlic powder
2Tbs onion powder
1 1/2 Tbs salt
2Tbs black pepper
2Tbs chili powder
aluminum foil
Preperation:
First I cut off the huge chunk of skin/fat that was on the side of the shank.
Mix together all of the spices to make a spice rub. Sprinkle the spice rub all over the shank and pat it in to make it stick good. Place the shank in aluminum foil and wrap it up good. Put foil packet on a baking sheet and place in a 425 degree oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours.
*Picnic refers to an untrimmed piece of meat / the fat being left on. If purchasing a regular shank half, then the trimming step may be skipped.
This was taken after I had started cutting the meat off the bone. I forgot to take a picture after I took it out of the oven.
What to do with the finished pork shank:
Make sandwiches
Make soup (Recipe below)
Pulled Pork Roll Ups(I will add this recipe after I do it.)
Pork Soup
