How to Make Lemon Rosemary Marinade For Lamb

  1. In a medium non-reactive bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 finely chopped shallots, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, and the juice of 2 lemons.
  2. Add 2 pounds of lamb (chops, rack, steaks, or butterflied leg) to the marinade, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove lamb from marinade and discard the used marinade.
  4. Grill lamb to desired doneness, approximately 10 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  5. Optional: To create a finishing sauce, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Strain out any solids before serving.
  6. Brush the cooked lamb with the finishing sauce (if made) just before serving.
