By GrillGrate
Grilling lamb is more difficult than beef because of its higher fat content. Flareups can also be an issue. This recipe calls for MED grill temperatures.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbs Olive Oil
- 3 tbs Chopped Garlic
- 3 tbs Chopped Fresh Rosemary
- 3 tbs Chopped Fresh Thyme
- 1 tbs Kosher Salt
- 2 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
- 1 boneless leg of lamb, 5 to 6 pounds, butterflied
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and make a smooth paste.
- Rub paste into the lamb.
- Place in a glass dish and let sit about 5 hours (4 1/4 hrs in fridge and final 45 min coming to room temperature).
- Grill over medium high heat (400-450F) on both sides until lamb reaches 135 degrees on an instant read thermometer.
- Wrap in foil and rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice thin across the grain and arrange on a platter garnished with fresh mint and lemon slices.
