About Lamb, leg, shank half, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, raw
The shank half of a lamb leg carries more connective tissue and sinew than the sirloin end, which affects both cooking method and texture. With fat left at the quarter-inch trim, the raw shank half has a moderate combined lean-and-fat profile. Long braising suits the shank well, breaking down collagen into gelatin and producing meat that falls from the bone. The sirloin half is usually preferred for quick roasting, while the shank half rewards patience. Bone-in braised lamb shank is a staple in many European and Middle Eastern preparations.
