Lamb Shank, cross-cut (Osso Buco)

Lamb shank, a cut from the shin of the lamb, is one of the most flavorful cuts of lamb. It needs to be cooked over low heat for a long time to become velvety, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone juicy. The lamb shank is the basis of braised lamb shanks and osso bucco, dishes that are favorites of chefs for their tenderness and particularly succulent consistency and flavors.
