Lamb Serving Size
Our recommendations for serving sized reflect those of
the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid.
For example, these familiar servings will provide approximately three
ounces of cooked, lean lamb:
-
1 Loin Chop
-
2 Rib Chops
-
1 Sirloin Steak
|
-
1 Shoulder Chop
-
4 Spareribs or Riblets
-
1 Patty
|
With boneless roasts, one pound of uncooked meat will
yield 3 to 4 servings. Examples include the boned, rolled and tied
leg of lamb; sirloin; top round; the inside-out leg and the boned,
rolled and tied shoulder. Bone-in roasts - square-cut shoulder,
whole or steamship leg of lamb - will provide 2 to 3 servings per
pound. Economical shanks yield about 2 servings per pound.
