Why does that (ruined) beef meat look like brain, got a second one and it looks the same. (Don’t judge me, I am still learning)
The package said that both are from a young bull. I got them one week apart.

This is braising meat, it looks really good and with tons of collagen. You sear it then braise in wine and broth until it falls apart.

Low and slow in some braising liquid(broth, wine, seasoning, herbs) for this. Shank is tough, so it needs time to break down and for the fat to render. I do mine at 300 for 3 hours, just for reference.

What cut of beef is it

The reason it looks like a brain is there is a lot of connective tissue in there. This cooks differently to the meat around it, it shrinks and contorts the meat surrounding it. When you get lots of it like you have it looks like a brain. It needs low and slow cooking to break it down to be as tender as the surrounding meat. Keep on learning, cooking is a skill which will treat you well for a lifetime.
