Lamb comes from a young domestic sheep, usually no older than a year. The meat is light, juicy, and tender because there isn’t much fat or dense muscle on the young animal. In the US, Europe, and the Middle East, lamb is a highly sought-after cut of meat that is prepared in a variety of ways by chefs, such as braising, grilling, and roasting. Lamb chops, shoulder, loin, shank, leg, rack, and ground lamb are among the frequently consumed portions of lamb.
