Lamb shank is cut from the shin of the lamb.
This hard working muscular area has a lot of connective tissue which gives the shank its flavor, but it can be tough if not properly prepared.
Lamb shank needs to be cooked low and slow to develop its velvety, juicy, fall of the done goodness.
Braising is the ideal way to cook lamb shank. This cooking method allows for the though, low fat meat to break down and become tender.
Be sure to sear the meat before braising, this will add a deeper flavor and beautiful color to the lamb shank.
*Our lamb is frozen when fresh and packed in a vacuum sealed package.
All of our lambs are born and raised right here on our family farm.
They enjoy every day grazing and foraging out on acres of regeneratively farmed, bio-diverse pastures.
Our sheep herd is a unique cross of Katahdin and Texel sheep and makes for the holy grail of lamb.
