Flipping skewers of meat can be tricky, as the meat tends to spin on the skewers. To avoid this, I use both tongs and a vented fish spatula (one of my favorite tools in the kitchen) to “roll” the skewers. That means the meat barely leaves the surface of the grates, so it’s easier to control.
For the best flavor, you want the lamb to be rosy in the center, so pull it from the heat just before it reaches temp. The carryover heat will take the lamb to its perfect doneness while the meat rests.
Ingredients
-
3 pounds boneless leg of lamb, sliced into 1½ - 2-inch cubes
-
Olive oil, for drizzling
-
Black and Tan seasoning
-
4 skewers
-
1 cup Greek Yogurt (full fat)
-
Finely grated zest of 1 large lemon (preferably organic)
-
Freshly squeezed juice of ½ lemon, plus more as desired
-
Pinch kosher salt
-
Lemon wedges, for serving
For the lamb
For the lemon yogurt
Directions
An hour before you plan to grill, place the lamb in a mixing bowl, drizzle with enough olive oil to lightly coat, and season generously with Black & Tan seasoning. Set aside to marinate at room temperature while you prepare the grill.
Prepare a grill for two-zone cooking and build a medium-high fire.
While you’re waiting on the fire, prepare the Lemon Yogurt Sauce. In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice and pinch of salt. Taste and add more lemon or salt, as desired. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
When the coals are glowing red and covered with a fine gray ash, grill the lamb over direct heat, flipping and rotating as needed, until the meat is charred on all sides and cooked to 135℉ - 140℉. Set aside and allow the meat to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Serve the lamb immediately with a slather of Lemon Yogurt Sauce topped with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of Black and Tan.
