How Long To Cook Lamb Shanks On Stove

Braised Lamb Shanks - Delish.com

Parker Feierbach

Braising lamb shanks might sound a little intimidating, but honestly, it couldn't be easier. After a quick sear, the oven does all the work for you! Lamb shanks can tend to be a tougher cut of meat so to get tender, fall off the bone lamb, it works best to cook them low and slow. They'll braise in a savory tomato sauce that gives the meat so much flavor and the sauce becomes extra silky after the wine and butter gets stirred in. You'll have the most comforting dinner you've had all year!
