Beef neck is a heavily worked muscle with abundant connective tissue and deep flavor. It is inexpensive and requires long, slow braising or stewing to become tender. As it cooks the collagen dissolves into gelatin, enriching the cooking liquid. It is popular in traditional Mexican, European, and Middle Eastern stewing traditions.
