Beef Shin has a moderate purine content of 106.4mg/100g. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced, gout-conscious diet. Among meats, purine levels vary significantly by cut — lean muscle cuts generally have less purine than fatty or organ cuts. Beef Shin falls at the mid end of that range. When preparing Beef Shin, boiling or stewing and discarding the cooking water can reduce purine content. Avoid charring or deep-frying, which add inflammatory compounds.
Beef Shin should be eaten in moderation with gout. It contains 106.4mg of purine per 100g (moderate range: 50–150mg). It can be part of a gout-friendly diet, but keep portions reasonable and not daily.
Boiling or stewing meat and discarding the cooking liquid can reduce purine content. Water-soluble purines leach into the water during cooking — do not consume the broth if reducing purine intake.

A plant-forward diet with meat as a side — not the centerpiece — is the healthiest approach for gout. [Source: Mayo Clinic]
