About Lamb Stew Meat
Lamb Stew Meat is offered by Laurel Highlands Farms as part of our Pennsylvania farm-direct lamb program. LAMB · 1 lb pack
Lamb stew meat is cubed from the shoulder or leg trim, cuts with enough connective tissue to benefit from a long, slow braise. A couple of hours at a gentle simmer with vegetables and aromatics is what turns these cubes tender, making this the right starting point for a lamb stew, curry or tagine.
A pound and a half of lamb stew meat typically serves four as part of a stew. Browning the cubes before adding liquid builds extra flavor, and a couple of hours of gentle simmering is what makes them tender. Adding root vegetables partway through the simmer, rather than at the start, keeps them from turning mushy by the time the meat is tender.

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.
