Lamb, the meat from the carcass of a young sheep, is a lean red meat with a mild, but distinctive flavor.
When cooking lamb, the proper lamb cooking time and the correct cooking temperature are extremely important. The optimum flavor and tenderness of various cuts of lamb can be consistently achieved when care is taken to follow the guidelines for the recommended lamb cooking times and cooking temperatures.

Thawing
Lamb that has been frozen should never be defrosted at room temperature because harmful bacteria may grow rapidly under such conditions.
The Thicker Cut
Thicker cuts of meat can be a challenge to grill so that they have a nice flavorful, crisp outer surface with a juicy tender middle. They are cuts that are too thick to be grilled with just direct heat but are not as thick as a cut that requires a long period of indirect heat, such as a roast.
Oven-Broiling | Pan-Broiling
Broiling and grilling are essentially the same technique: the application of intense, direct heat to the meat, one side at a time. In grilling, the heat is below the meat; in broiling the heat comes from above (usually in an oven).
Ribs
Lamb ribs that will be grilled or barbecued are cut from the breast
primal. The rib primal is reserved for tender rib chops and rib
roasts.

General Guidelines
Because of growing concern that harmful bacteria may be present in the internal portions of meat, it is now recommended that whole lamb cuts be cooked to an internal temperature (after the resting period, if applicable) of not less than 145°F.
Dry Heat Cooking | Moist Heat Cooking
There are two general methods used for cooking lamb (and most other meats):Dry Heat Cooking and Moist Heat Cooking.
Dry Heat Cooking
When cooking lamb using dry heat cooking, the meat is in direct contact with a hot surface or close to the heat source.
Miscellaneous Cuts
Whole cuts and scraps of fresh lamb can be rolled, cubed, or ground in a food store or meat market into various products that add convenience for the consumer.
Variety Meats
Variety meats include some of the organs and extremities. Some lamb variety meats may be available in food stores, but most are available from a butcher or specialty meat market or may require special ordering.
