FAQ
What does 'denuded' mean for this lamb cut?
'Denuded' means the cut has been meticulously trimmed of all external fat, silverskin, and excess connective tissue, leaving only the lean meat and the clean bone. This ensures a very tender bite and a refined appearance.
Is this a lean cut of meat?
While denuded, this specific cut still contains intramuscular fat (marbling) and is listed with 16.96g fat per 100g. The grilling process renders much of this fat, contributing to flavor and juiciness, but it is not considered a 'lean' cut in the strictest dietary sense.
How can I ensure the lamb is juicy when grilling?
Bring the chops to room temperature before cooking. Preheat your grill to high heat for a good sear, which locks in juices. Grill for just 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
