Grilled BBQ Lamb Recipe
Ingredients:
- Marinated lamb (from the marinade recipe above)
- Olive oil for brushing
- BBQ sauce (optional, for basting and serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the lamb from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Lightly brush the lamb with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the lamb on the grill. The cooking time will vary depending on the cut and thickness of the lamb. For example:
- Lamb chops: Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Leg of lamb: Grill for about 20 minutes per side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare.
- Lamb shoulder: Grill for about 25-30 minutes per side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare.
- If desired, brush the lamb with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor.
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled lamb with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
Additional Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, consider adding wood chips to your grill.
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb is cooked to your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 145°F (63°C).
- Let the lamb rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy result.
Suggested Side Dishes:
- Grilled vegetables (like bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant)
- Greek salad
- Tzatziki sauce
- Roasted potatoes
