Grilled Lamb Shank

Grilled Lamb Shank

EverydayCooked

Grilled lamb shank is a flavorful cut from the lower leg of a lamb, typically slow-cooked to tenderize the collagen-rich meat before finishing over high heat to create a charred, smoky exterior. This protein-rich dish provides significant amounts of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, though its marbling contributes notable saturated fat content. Often featured in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, the grilled preparation balances the meat's inherent richness with aromatic smokiness while maintaining a fork-tender texture.
