Method

  1. Cut slits into lamb shank in a criss-cross pattern about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep; place into a shallow dish.
  2. Whisk olive oil, rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, mint, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; brush evenly over the lamb shank. 
  3. Refrigerate lamb at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  5. Stir lemon juice and honey together in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Cook lamb shank on a preheated grill, basting every 15 minutes with the lemon juice mixture until browned on the outside and red in the centre, about 30 minutes per side. 
  7. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C).
