How to cook pork shank in the oven juicy without a bone?

To a greater extent, not even the marinade and other additives are responsible for the juiciness of the meat, but the cooking method itself: the baking dish should not be open, otherwise prolonged heat treatment will dry the surface. It is best to cook in a sleeve or foil, but if you want to use heat-resistant dishes, be sure to pour a glass of water into it, and tighten the top with foil: this will increase the humidity inside. At the same time, the shank is browned on the grate, the meat should be poured with juice protruding from it every 5 minutes. And additionally juiciness can be provided by the filling, which is filled with the shank removed from the bone.

For cooks, the choice of products, their preparation and what spices are used for the dish is of great importance. If you want to cook the shank deliciously, these tips will help you.

  1. Choose a hind leg - it is fatter. Weighs approximately 1-1.5 kg. But the front is more bony and fat, here the ratio of meat and bone in the direction of the latter. Better out of her.
  2. Always stuff the knuckle... Garlic or ginger are great for this. Cut the garlic into slices and dip in salt. Use a thin knife to poke a hole in the pork and add salted garlic here. So the meat is saturated with the aroma of garlic and salted from the inside. Make punctures everywhere - closer to the bone, to the skin, in the meat. You can do the same with ginger. You can.
  3. Boil first... This part of the pork is still tough. If you send it straight to the oven without pre-cooking it, the result may be disappointing. You can cook the leg in a saucepan, double boiler, multicooker or pressure cooker.
  4. Add flavors... When boiling, add other flavoring ingredients in addition to salt. This can be a head of an onion, cloves of garlic, carrots, allspice, olives, chili peppers, paprika, or tomato paste. Feel free to experiment with taste.
  5. We give shine in the oven... Cover the shank with a mixture of mustard and runny honey. And so as not to wash the baking sheet, cover it with foil. After that, lay out the meat to bake.

Be sure to see how Lazerson prepares the knuckle. I myself learn from him and spy on culinary secrets 🙂

How long it takes to cook a knuckle depends on its size. Usually in a saucepan it is 3.5-4 hours, in a multicooker-pressure cooker 1 hour. After boiling, it should be soft.

Cooking in foil with honey

The rich aroma of this dish will fill not only the kitchen, but the whole apartment in a matter of minutes. Every now and then your family will visit with questions: is it ready yet?

Since you will bake the pork leg in foil, you don't need to boil it. Prepare the following ingredients:

  • kilogram shank;
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of soy sauce;
  • 1 tbsp. a spoonful of mustard;
  • 1 tbsp. a spoonful of honey;
  • 8 cloves of garlic.

First, mix the sauce with honey and mustard. Clean the shank and wipe it with a paper towel. Thoroughly coat it with chopped garlic. Then put the leg in a tight bag and add honey-mustard marinade. Then shake the contents of the bag well so that the fragrant mixture is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the leg. We send the shank in a bag to the refrigerator for the night.

Then we take out the knuckle from the bag and wrap it in foil. We heat the oven to 200 degrees and send the workpiece into it. At this temperature, the shank should be cooked for about an hour and a half.

Unroll the foil gently for a crisp finish. Bake the leg for about a quarter of an hour.

German pork leg in beer

To taste this yummy, you don't have to go to an expensive restaurant. At home it will turn out much tastier than that of a professional cook 😉 This yummy is prepared in two stages: first, the leg is boiled, and then baked. For cooking, I recommend using a pressure cooker or a multicooker-pressure cooker.

Prepare the following foods:

  • pork shank;
  • 500 ml of beer (it doesn't matter - use both light and dark);
  • salt to taste;
  • 1.5-2 heads of garlic;
  • pork seasoning package (for example, "Caucasian herbs").

Scrape the shank, rinse and wipe dry with a paper towel. Mix chopped garlic with salt and spices. Liberally coat the skin of the leg with this fragrant gruel. Make several cuts in the shank and stuff them with the rest of the spicy mass.

After that, we put the shank in a pressure cooker, pour beer here and put the bowl on maximum heat. When you hear the beep, indicating that the liquid has boiled, reduce the heat to low. Cook for about an hour.

Then we move the knuckle into a baking dish and send it to the oven heated to 220 degrees. The boiled leg is, in fact, ready. You only need to bake it for 20-30 minutes - it should acquire a beautiful golden brown crust. During baking, water the leg with the beer stock left in the pressure cooker.

Bake with honey and mustard

The shank cooked in honey mustard sauce is so aromatic. And what an appetizing crispy crust she has - just the thought makes her drool 🙂

For this yummy you will need:

  • pork shank;
  • one medium onion and one carrot;
  • 2 pcs. lavrushka;
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of honey;
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil bed;
  • 2 tbsp. tablespoons of mustard;
  • 6 peas of black pepper;
  • 3 pcs. carnations;
  • salt + spices for pork;
  • water.

Fill the thoroughly washed pork leg with water and bring the liquid to a boil. Add lavrushka, cloves and pepper and salt here. Peel the carrots and onions and add them to the pan (you do not need to chop them). Next, reducing the heat to low, continue to cook the leg until tender.

For the marinade, mix honey with mustard and pork spices. Take the boiled knuckle out of the broth and place it in a foil-lined baking dish. Cover the leg with a generous amount of marinade. Leave the shank for 10-15 minutes to soak in the aromatic sauce.

Then put the leg in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake until caramelized, about 40-50 minutes. During baking, water the shank 3-4 times with the juice that has drained into a baking sheet. You can serve such a yummy with any side dish, for example, stewed cabbage.

Juicy and tasty up the sleeve with potatoes

In this recipe, the pork leg is baked in a sleeve. Therefore, it is not necessary to pre-boil the meat. An additional plus of this option is that the side dish is cooked along with the meat.

You will need:

  • one and a half kilogram pork shank;
  • 3 tbsp. tablespoons of salt;
  • 2 tbsp. tablespoons of olive oil;
  • 7-8 potatoes;
  • 2-3 st. paprika spoons;
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic.

Peel the garlic, rinse and chop it with a garlic spade. We mix it with 2 tbsp. tablespoons of salt and 1-2 tbsp. spoons of paprika. We make punctures in the knuckle with a knife and stuff it with this mixture. And distribute the remaining fragrant mass evenly over the surface of the leg.

We send the shank into a bag, tie it tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Leave the pork for at least 3 hours. However, it will be tastier if left overnight.

Add the potatoes to the sleeve to the shank and tie. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and immerse the "bundle" in it. We cook at this temperature for 1.5 hours. By that time, both the pork and potatoes will be ready. But do not rush to punch the sleeve - the steam is too hot. Let the dish stand for 15 minutes.

Well, then set the table. Potatoes cooked in the sleeve turn out to be ruddy. And what juicy and tender meat comes out. It's incredibly delicious - be sure to try it.

And I sat and almost choked with saliva 🙂 I promised myself that I would definitely cook this dish in Chesh style. Believe me, it turned out to be incredibly tasty.

Required composition of products:

  • medium-sized onion;
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic;
  • salt;
  • water;
  • spices - black pepper, cloves, cumin (to taste);
  • 2-3 pcs. lavrushki.

Carefully scrape the leg, rinse it and fill it with water. The liquid should cover the pork by 2 cm. We put the container on the stove - on high heat. We wait until boiling, remove the foam and reduce the heat to low. We send the onion peeled from the husk to the pan. Then we cook the knuckle for about an hour.

Then we take out the shank from the broth, make 8-10 cuts in it. We send 1 half of garlic to each hole. Add pork on top and crush it with chopped black pepper and caraway seeds.

We place the shank in a baking dish and send it to an oven preheated to 170 degrees for an hour. Sprinkle plenty of beer on the leg during baking. Serve hot.

Bavarian recipe

This option will appeal to even the most sophisticated gourmet. Don't believe me? And you cook and taste.

Required composition of products:

  • 2 onions;
  • coarse salt;
  • 0.5 tsp of red hot pepper;

  • pinch of cumin

Grind "Provencal herbs" and black pepper in a mortar. Add a little salt to this and grind everything thoroughly. Next, add lavrushka, hot pepper, caraway seeds - again grind everything thoroughly in a mortar. Crush the peeled garlic with the flat side of a knife and add it to the mortar, grinding well. The fragrant dressing is ready.

We scrap the knuckles and wash them. We make small cuts in the bones and generously grease the meat with a fragrant dressing. Coat only the meat rim, do not smear the skin on top.

Chop the onion with thick rings and place it on a baking sheet. Meat will be baked on it. Next, lay out the shanks and sprinkle them with coarse salt on top.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees, put a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes. Then we reduce the temperature to 190 degrees and continue to bake for about 60-75 minutes. Be sure to check the meat for readiness - to do this, pierce it with a fork. If clear juice is released, then everything is ready.

How to bake without foil

If you cook pork leg in the oven, you can do without foil. True, in this case, I advise you to boil the knuckle beforehand. Prepare the following ingredients:

  • shank;
  • bulb;
  • 2-3 pcs. lavrushka;
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic;
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of soy sauce;
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of honey;
  • a few peas of allspice;
  • salt;
  • water.

We immerse the thoroughly washed leg in a spacious saucepan. Fill it with water so that the liquid covers the leg a couple of cm. Bring the liquid to a boil. Remove the foam from the surface and reduce the heat to low.

Peel the onion, wash it and add it entirely to the broth. Cook for about an hour. Then we send lavrushka, allspice and salt to the pan. After that, we continue to cook for about half an hour. Take the knuckle out of the broth and let it cool to room temperature.

Making a marinade - mix the sauce with honey. Cut the garlic into thin slices. We make cuts in the shank and insert garlic cloves here. And then liberally grease the leg with marinade.

Place the shank in a baking dish. And we send it for a quarter of an hour in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. After this time, look into the oven - the leg is already slightly browning. Turn it over, brush with dripping juice and continue baking for another 15 minutes. That's all - a fragrant shank with garlic and honey is ready.

It is always important to choose quality products for a delicious meal. When it comes to shank, you need to be especially careful, as this is meat. If you choose a bad product, then you can get poisoned in no time.

  1. First of all, as always, the appearance of the product is important. The skin on the shank should be white. The surface should be free of stains, streaks, traces of blood and other defects;
  2. Next, you need to consider the meat. The fat should be evenly distributed over the meat, not beaten off one side. It is also important that the cut is fresh. That is, the meat was not seasoned;
  3. You can press down on the shank to check the freshness of the product. The finger dent should disappear instantly. If this happens within a few seconds, then it is better not to buy meat;
  4. The fat must be white. If the fat in the meat is pinkish, then the pork may have been soaked in potassium permanganate to give it a brighter and fresher look;
  5. The meat should have a natural color. That is, it should be pink. Not too dark or too light;
  6. Dark meat will indicate the old age of the meat (that is, the pig was old). Yellow fat can also tell about this. Old meat takes much longer to cook than young meat and, as a result, it turns out not so tender, it is more tough;
  7. The aroma of the product is also important. It should be sweet. Any other smells, especially spices, should put you off buying a product. Spoiled meat products are often rubbed with spices so that they smell good and customers purchase the product on a subconscious level (the aroma is pleasant).

Choosing a knuckle, you can safely go home to cook a delicious lunch or dinner. Not only adults will like tender meat, even children will appreciate it.

  • 60 grams of salt
  • 2 onions
  • 2 carrots
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 50 ml dark beer
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Ground black pepper to taste.

Cooking method:

Before preparing the pork shank, prepare additional ingredients. We clean carrots and onions. Grind 1 carrot and 1 onion. We put it in a large container. Add bay leaves (2 pcs.) And water. Water should be poured so that it takes up about three quarters of the container volume. We put on fire and bring to a boil.

As soon as the water boils, add salt and carefully dip the pork knuckles into the boiling water. Make sure the shanks are completely submerged in the water. If necessary, you can add more water. Bring the water to a boil again and reduce the heat.

Cook the pork shank over low heat until the meat is tender (about 45 - 90 minutes, depending on the size of the shank).

Take the finished shanks out of the pan and let them cool down.


Preheat the oven.

Sprinkle the boiled pork knuckles with salt and season with ground black pepper.

Chop the remaining onions and carrots. Put in a baking dish. Also add the remaining bay leaf. A pork knuckle is laid out on top.

We send the baking dish to the oven. We cook for 1 - 1 ½ hours. Then we increase the temperature to 230 degrees, and cook the pork shanks for another 5 - 10 minutes.

The baked pork knuckle is served with the sauce. To make the sauce, pour beer into a saucepan and heat it up. Next, add the starch. Cook until the starch is completely dissolved.
