About Lamb Heart
Lamb Heart is offered by Laurel Highlands Farms as part of our Pennsylvania farm-direct lamb program. LAMB · per lb
Lamb heart is a small, lean, dense muscle with a mild flavor similar to beef heart but milder. It can be sliced thin and quickly seared like a small steak, or slow-braised if you prefer a more tender, fall-apart texture.
Lamb heart is small enough that one is often a single serving once trimmed and sliced. A quick marinade of olive oil, garlic and herbs works well before a fast sear over high heat. Because it is so lean, avoid cooking it past medium — a hot pan for just a couple of minutes per side is enough to keep it tender. Its rich, iron-forward flavor makes it a good candidate for a simple pan sauce built from the drippings and a splash of stock.
Buying directly from a farm is easier when product identity, price and use are clear. Consider how many people you are feeding, the cooking methods you use most often and how the item will fit into your meal planning. Our shop also includes related cuts, primals and specialty boxes so you can compare options without losing the connection to the farm.
Availability follows the realities of a working livestock farm. Add currently available products to your cart and confirm pickup or other fulfillment details during checkout or by contacting the farm. For more help choosing and cooking cuts, visit our beef and lamb guides.
Good to know
Fresh lamb keeps best refrigerated at 40°F or below and should be cooked within a few days of thawing; for longer storage keep it frozen in the original vacuum packaging. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator on a tray and pat the meat dry before cooking for a better crust.
Pasture-raised lamb has a clean, mild flavor when it is not overcooked. Cook chops and racks quickly to medium-rare or medium, and give shoulder, shank and breast cuts the long, gentle heat that turns their connective tissue tender. Always rest the meat before carving.
