Description
Pound for pound, few cuts can compare with the boneless lamb shoulder roast in flavor and texture. Slow, steady heat unlocks this jigsaw of marbled muscles, transforming into lamb so tender you can cut it with a spoon. This is a large roast, roughly 4½ pounds, so we have our Marble & Grain artisan butchers trim and tie it up neatly for easy cooking. It’s also an incredibly versatile cut of lamb. Whether you oven-roast it, smoke it or braise it — pomegranate juice makes a fantastic medium for a braised lamb shoulder recipe — the results are going to be succulent, and the shoulder’s deep network of fat adds not only flavor but insurance: This cut is almost impossible to overcook.
About This Cut
What Cut of Lamb Is the Shoulder Roast? The shoulder of any animal shoulders, so to speak, a lot of weight and work. As such, lamb shoulder tends to be tough, with knots of muscles, fibers and fat that only unclench in the steady presence of low and slow heat. Tough does not mean bland, however; lamb shoulder is one of the most flavor-packed cuts not only from a lamb, but any animal, full stop.
