Italian term or phrase: Scalzare

This is from a list of subjects covered in professional training for working in a restaurant. Can't find the translation anywhere. The only context I have is "Scalzare agnello" (i.e. how to...).

Thanks.

to 'French' (or 'French-cut')

Explanation:
I assume this applied to a rack of lamb, but if you don't have any more context, I can't be sure, hence the low confidence.

It is the most complicated thing you can do with lamb that I can think of, and certainly required in serious restaurants.

Am fairly sure this is it now -- 'French-cutting' is about 'cleaning' the scrag ends of meat and fat for tidy presentation, most relevant for a rack of lamb.

French Trim

Explanation:
I am having the same problem but inverted :) I have to translate "French trimmed" into Italian, and I found it to be "scalzato".
