Ingredients
4 servings
Lamb Skewers
Boneless lamb shoulder or leg800 g
Marinade
Beef tallow3 tbsp
Apple cider vinegar1 tbsp
Fresh rosemary, minced2 tbsp
Fresh thyme, minced1 tbsp
Garlic powder1 tsp
Onion powder0.5 tsp
Red pepper flakes0.5 tsp
Sea salt1.5 tsp
Black pepper0.5 tsp
Method
1
Cut the lamb into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2
In a large bowl, combine the melted beef tallow, apple cider vinegar, minced rosemary, minced thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
3
Add the lamb cubes to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
5
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, typically 4-5 pieces per skewer, ensuring they are not too tightly packed.
6
Preheat a grill or a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little extra beef tallow if needed.
7
Cook the lamb skewers for 3-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until nicely browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended for lamb).
8
Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. These are perfect for a quick, flavorful meal.
