I've picked up five packs of shin of beef from Morrisons for £2.50 ive never used it before.

What is the best way to cook it?

Long and slow. Lots of recipes on the web so you won't get fed up with the same meal over and over again -

I use it all the time to make curries. As said, long and slow.

"Long and slow" is exactly what I was going to say!

My butcher recommends shin beef for casseroles. Cook them low and slow and it'll melt in the mouth.

Shin makes the most beautiful curries. In fact, you could make what's known as a Royal Korma with it. Despite Kashmiri roots (I should love creamy and fruity curries but I don't), it's probably the only truly good Korma I know.
If you have a slow cooker, it works lovely.

Shin is also good for other low and slow recipes - once cooked until really tender, it's delicious and if the bone is still in it, the sauce really thickens.
