Rib Lamb Chops, Raw
Rib lamb chops are a premium cut from the upper rib section of young sheep, characterized by a single rib bone and tender, well-marbled meat. This cut provides high-quality protein, iron, and vitamin B12, though its fat content is higher than leaner cuts like loin. Best prepared by grilling or pan-searing to medium-rare, the marbling ensures juiciness while the bone enhances flavor, with individual chops typically weighing 2-4 ounces for portion tracking.
