1. Step 1

   Start by creating criss-cross slits in your lamb shank, spacing them about an inch apart and cutting about half an inch deep.

   This not only helps the flavors penetrate but also gives it a beautiful presentation.

3. Step 3

   Place the lamb shank in a shallow dish, ready for marinating.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together a delightful blend of olive oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, mint, black pepper, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

5. Step 5

   This aromatic mixture will infuse your lamb with incredible flavor.

6. Step 6

   Brush this herbaceous concoction generously over the lamb shank, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated, then cover and refrigerate it for at least an hour to let those flavors mingle and deepen.

7. Step 7

   While the lamb is soaking up all that goodness, preheat your grill to medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

   In a small bowl, combine fresh lemon juice with honey, stirring until smooth.
