Lamb discussions should start with a carving station, a taco, a pasta dish, or something similar.

The best way to recommend a lamb cut is to start with the dish.

🔥 Chops straight off the grill → loin chops or cutlets.
🍽️ A roast to carve → leg.
🥩 A neatly sliced plated dish → rump.
🌮 Pulled lamb tacos or filled flatbreads → slow-cooked shoulder.
🍝 A rich, slow-braised ragù → neck.
🍷 A braised centrepiece → shank.

Ask the chef what they want to serve, how they’ll cook it and what portion they have in mind. Find out what they want the highlight of the dish to be.

The last knife cut affects the first bite!

Before carving lamb, look for the direction of the muscle fibres. Slice across them to shorten the fibres in each mouthful.

As you work through the piece, check the grain again and adjust your cutting angle where needed. Keep slice thickness consistent so portions eat consistently.

Enjoy!

Perfecting Lamb over Charcoal 🥩🔥

1. Work with two zones, as the fat, meat and bones all cook at different speeds.
2. Bones will keep cooking the meat well after pulling off the heat
3. Applewood is our favorite.

What does a Regenerative Lamb Ranch look like? 🐑🌿

Here's things you will spot on Pasture Fresh® farms:

Rotational grazing
Animals are moved between paddocks on a schedule, giving grass time to recover.

Dark, crumbly soil
Soil has earthworm activity, and minimal bare patches, meaning it's building up organic matter.

Water retention
Well-managed pasture holds moisture longer and needs less irrigation.

Animals living low-stress lifestyle
Calm, unhurried animals grazing at natural density.

Green through all seasons
Spring, summer, autumn and winter!

Choosing the Right Lamb Rack Size 🐑

Weight
Bigger racks = more portions per rack, but pricier per unit.

Bone length
Frenched bone length affects presentation and yield.

Fat-to-meat ratio
A well-balanced fat cap adds flavor and moisture during cooking, but too much results in trim you'll cut away. Look for consistent trim specs.

Rib count
Full racks (8-rib) vs. chop-cut portions changes your prep time and consistency across covers.

Reach out and we'll help you dial in the right spec for your kitchen!
