VIETNAMESE LAMB
Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy - also, cheap. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for stewing or braising. But the shoulder's not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts. Here it's marinated in a Vietnamese marinade overnight, then broiled or grilled into fantastic submission.

Steps:
- Combine cilantro, mint, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chile (like japaleño), and black pepper. Rub half of the mixture over 2 pounds of lamb shoulder chops or chunks, and marinate overnight.
- Heat a grill or broiler with the rack 4 to 6 inches from the flame. Wipe off the marinade; grill or broil, turning once, until medium, 4 or 5 minutes per side. Serve with the remaining sauce.
