Sometimes called the "hotel rack," the lamb rib primal cut is where we get some of the animal's most impressive-looking cuts: lamb rib chops , lamb crown roast, and rack of lamb.
Imagine being presented a rack of lamb with all the legs perfectly frenched fat and sinew trimmed away and the row of chops in the rack glowing with a top crust of aromatic herbs, garlic, olive oil, and crushed pistachios. Depending on the size of the ribs, some lamb chops might comprise two ribs. A lamb's breast, which is worked heavily whenever the animal moves, contains a lot of cartilage and other connective tissues. This makes the breast one of the few lamb primal cuts that need to be cooked low and slow with moist heat.
Lamb breast can also be used to make ground lamb. Another tougher cut with a lot of cartilage, the lamb neck is best used for making lamb stew. If you're up for a little adventure, try adding a can of Guinness stout —a traditional ingredient in Irish stews—and perhaps a few lamb shanks to the slow-cooking pot.
Root vegetables and peas go in the last half hour. The shanks are the lower section of the animal's leg. On each side, there's a foreshank in the foresaddle and a hindshank in the hindsaddle. They're extremely tough and full of connective tissue because they work all day, every day. The lamb shank is the basis of braised lamb shanks , a dish that's a favorite of chefs for its fall-off-the-bone tenderness and particularly succulent consistency and flavor.
Lamb shanks are usually oven braised with a good red wine, vegetables, and herbs in a roasting pot or dutch oven; they can also be made successfully in a slow cooker. Let's move on to lamb primal cuts from the back of the animal—the hindsaddle.
This area is the source of some of the tenderest and, thus, prized cuts of the lamb. The lamb loin is where we get lamb loin roast and lamb loin chops, both tender cuts that are best prepared using dry heat.
The entire lamb loin can also be cooked on the grill slathered with rosemary, garlic, and fresh lemon juice—frequently used with lamb to cut the generous fatty taste of the animal. There's also the Barnsley or saddle or double-loin chop.
The lamb sirloin is sometimes considered part of the leg primal cut, but it can also be prepared separately. In this case, it is frequently cut into chops or steaks and cooked using dry heat. Lamb flank can be tough unless cooked with moist heat, so braising is best. Lamb flank can also be used for making ground lamb. Lamb Cooking Introduction. Grilling Lamb. Lamb Rotisserie Cooking.

This refers to a boneless center roast obtained from the blade portion of the shoulder and is also known as a chuck eye roast. The most flavorful and economical chops come from the shoulder.
The arm roast is cut from the upper arm section of the shoulder primal. The arm chop is cut from the upper arm section and contains a cross-section of the upper arm bone. Shoulder meat, trimmed of fat and connective tissue, is the best choice for stew.

This cut is a double loin roast, from both sides of the backbone. The loin roast can be sliced crosswise into individual chops.
