Aussie Lamb Shanks
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 6 lamb shanks
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1T vegemite
- 8-10 hand length stalks of fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Place raw lamb shanks into slow cooker (be sure to remove the plastic sleeve on the bone knuckle that many have on them)
- In a microwave safe cup combine honey and vegemite and heat for 30secs then stir well to combine
- Brush this all over the shanks until all coated
- Lay rosemary over shanks (keep them on the stalk so you can easily remove them at the end prior to serving)
- Cook on AUTO for 8hrs – which is 2hrs high then 6hrs low … or cook them on just LOW for 8-10hrs.
- I used a 7L searing slow cooker for mine which enabled me to place them in a single layer but if you need to stack them that’s ok too – just rotate position half way through cooking

Was fall off the bone amazing! Beautiful flavours. Will definitely cook again!
Beautiful flavour. I only cooked two, so used 1/2 the sauce recipe. Next time I will use the full amount. Will definitely cook these again….
Thought it would have a lot more flavour.
Sorry to ask, but what amount of Vegemite? Not sure what 1T means.
1T is one tablespoon 🙂
(1t is one teaspoon)
Delicious, I was a bit sceptical….but loved it.
Do you need to add water when cooking
No water needed Rachel 🙂
Can I used dry rosemary and in what quantity
You sure can use dry rosemary Rachel, just sprinkle generously 🙂
Pretty bloody good! Nice flavour. Only used two shanks but same amount of honey and vegemite as the recipe. (Although I misread it as one teaspoon not tablespoon and read the comments on the recipe afterwards)
Used dried rosemary instead as didn’t have any fresh at home. Would like to use fresh next time to be able to take off prior to serving.
My SlowCooker doesn’t sear. Should I sear t them first? Thanks
You can skip that step now worries John 🙂
Great recipe, I cook lamb shanks alot as we are lamb producers, and everyone liked this dish!
When serving, I strained the juices/marinade to remove the remaining rosemary leaves, skimmed off the fat, and thickened it a little, and poured it over the shanks so we could appreciate the flavour to the max.
What a lovely compliment coming from a family who enjoys lamb like your family does! Thanks Sandra!
delicious lamb shanks. I will be making this a weekend dinner every weekend.
sooooo delicious
SO easy! I was a bit confused about the combining of honey and vegemite, but shouldn’t have been – this was quite tasty. I just sprinkled dried rosemary on the shanks. Will definately be doing this one again.
Definitely a keeper. Nice and simple. Turned the shanks over at about the 3 hour mark, then basted every hour. Sticky and succulent.
We weren’t huge fans of this recipe. We love Vegemite and love honey but we just found these weren’t great.
A favourite with my husband.
Fabulous!! Thanks for leaving your fab 5 star review Katherine 🙂
Fall off the bone deliciousness — lovely sweet flavour from the honey with a slight salty hint of Vegemite coupled with the traditional lamb/rosemary combo. A big hit in my house and a tick of approval to cook it again.
That’s so great to hear Steve! Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback 🙂
Well WOW. Could never imagine that combination would be so delicious. I didn’t have shanks so I used leg of lamb. I only added garlic & put potatoes & carrots next to it.
Once cooked-I took the leg out, cut the meat up, put it back in the sc with mushrooms & gravy powder to thicken it.
Sooo easy & YUM. Definately cook it again. 🫶🏼
I love surprises like this! Thanks for sharing Margaret 🙂
I absolutely love a great lamb shank receipe. These flavours were amazing.
My partner had never had shanks before. Her first time and with this combo. I’ve been ordered to cook these more frequently. Amazing 👏
Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback Shannon! 🙂
