Sous Vide Lamb Shank
What you'll need:
- 2 lamb shanks
- 1/2 oz salt
- 1/2 oz pepper
- 1/3 teaspoon pink curing salt (optional)
- 2 sprigs rosemary
Directions:
1. Set Anova Precision Cooker to 143°F / 61.7°C
2. Season lamb with salt, pepper, and curing salt.
3. Place rosemary on lamb, add lamb to vacuum bag and seal. Place in water bath and cook 48 hours.
Finishing Steps:
1. Set up smoker to 225°F-250°F / 107°C-121°C, or preheat oven to 225°F / 107°C.
2. Prepare a bowl full of heavily iced water. When 48 hours is up, transfer bags of lamb to ice bath for 15 minutes to chill lamb to prevent overcooking in smoker or oven.
