How to Make Greek Style Lamb Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the lamb in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for the most intense flavor. Turn the lamb occasionally.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the lamb for approximately 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Let the lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
