How to Make Grilled Lamb Shoulder Provencale

Using a sharp knife, slice horizontally through the lamb shoulder, stopping about 1 inch from the opposite edge.
Open the lamb like a book and gently flatten it with the flat side of your knife to an even thickness.
Trim away any excess membrane and fat from the lamb shoulder.
Place the lamb in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and set it in a shallow dish.
**Prepare the marinade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 bay leaf, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (roughly chopped), 1 sprig fresh thyme (roughly chopped), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the lamb in the plastic bag. Press out excess air, seal the bag tightly, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Remove the lamb from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates.
Place the lamb flat on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium). Baste frequently with the reserved marinade during cooking.
Remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the lamb across the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve.
