German term or phrase: unzäh
This word is used in describing a slow-cooked lamb.

"Es hat eine unzähe Dichte, als sei es im Ganzen Sous-Vide gegart."

At the moment, I have "It is tender, as if it were cooked entirely sous-vide.", but I'm not confident. I'd appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks.

English translation:It has a tender texture
Explanation:
Cook Lamb Slowly for Tender Texture
For big flavor and meltingly tender meat, start with an overlooked cut—lamb shoulder

If you're still not happy with 'tender', you could consider tenderised/tenderized.

Texture rather than consistency with meat, I would say.

tenderised texture would cover the aspect of the toughness having been removed/overcome.

Explanation:
There are several options for "unzäh" in English.

Compare with this:
"Journey’s gyros are certainly worth trying. The pita bread is toasted lightly on the griddle, and Aburumman uses a particular Kronos brand gyro meat from Chicago in a blend that is predominately lamb, with only a little beef, for a tender and non-chewy texture."
https://www.courierpress.com/story/entertainment/2019/12/07/...

"I know from America's Test Kitchen that I should eschew the lean, pretty pork roasts in favor of the more gnarly, fatty ones. If I had any doubt whether this is sound advice, it was resolved by the delicious meaty flavor and the decidedly untough texture of this stew."
