Lamb Shoulder Oyster Cut

Origin: Uruguay 

The Lamb Shoulder Oyster Cut, also known simply as the "oyster cut" or "oyster steak," is a lesser-known but flavorful and tender section of the lamb shoulder. It is named after its shape, which somewhat resembles an oyster shell. This cut is located within the lamb shoulder blade and is characterized by its rich marbling and succulent meat. Because of its tenderness, the Lamb Shoulder Oyster Cut is well-suited for quick and high-heat cooking methods such as grilling, pan-searing, or broiling. It can also be marinated or seasoned to enhance its taste, and due to its small size, it cooks relatively quickly.
