What is Shoulder?
Shoulder is a cut of meat that comes from the upper forelimb of an animal, such as pork, beef, or lamb. This cut is often used in slow-cooked dishes like stews, roasts, and barbecues due to its rich flavor and tenderness when cooked for extended periods. It is a versatile ingredient in both Western and international cuisines.
