About Lamb, leg, whole (shank and sirloin), separable lean only, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, raw
Lean-only lamb leg, raw, is one of the leaner red meat options available.

The leg muscle does real work in the animal, so it has decent structure and benefits from either slow cooking to break down connective tissue or careful temperature control on the grill to avoid toughening. Well-suited for anyone wanting a high-protein red meat without a heavy fat load.
