Steaks Lamb steaks are usually cut from the leg. Small, expensive steaks are cut from the loin and are known as medallions or noisettes.

Chops Chops are among the most popular fresh lamb cuts. The most tender and expensive chops are cut from the loin and rib.

Oven Roasts A cut of lamb suitable for oven roasting is usually a minimum of 2 inches thick. If not overcooked, the dry heat of oven roasting enhances the flavor and tenderness of the lamb.

The USDA recommends 2 or 3 servings of meat, fish, or poultry per day. One serving of cooked lamb is equal to 3 ounces and is about the size of a deck of cards. An average 3-ounce serving of lamb contains about 176 calories, which is comparable to many other types of red meat and poultry.
