The easy way to trim lamb cuts

Want a simple rule? When it comes to trimming your lamb cut, the outside fat is out. The fat within the meat that keeps your lamb downright moist and flavoursome.

What you need to know

Before you cook up a storm, remove the visible white fat found on the outside of some lamb cuts. This type of fat is known as external or selvedge fat, and it’s good to go because lean cuts are the healthiest. 

The white flecks of fat you see throughout the meat is the marbling or intramuscular fat that gives lamb the rich, juicy flavour we love.
