What are Lamb Tips?

[Shel_B]

Yesterday Toots brought home some prepackaged "lamb tips" from Trader Joe's.  I never heard of such a thing.  Does anyone know what lamb tips are, and any suggestions on how to cook 'em?  I was thinking of a slow braise in the oven, but without knowing what these things are, maybe that's not the right approach.  Thanks!

Interesting marketing...I would've asked in the store, but since that didn't happen - I'm guessing  they could be from any part of the beast, but most likely shoulder or leg, and  probably can be cooked with either moist or dry heat.

It's a Trader Joe trademark for bits of lamb.

 

I wouldn't expect too much.

Can you post a photo of them?

No, I can't because we had them for dinner, and now I know what they are.  It's nothing more than stew meat, and the pieces are random sizes.  It looked like one big piece of meat in the package, so that confused me.  The meat was marinated, and was reasonably tasty, but Toots and I agreed that we wouldn't buy them.  As it turns out, they were a gift from one of her clients, so we certainly got our money's worth.

 

Thanks to all for jumping in.
