Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C). Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

  3. Place the butterflied leg of lamb on a large baking sheet or dish. Using a brush or your hands, generously coat the lamb with the prepared marinade, making sure to cover both sides evenly.

  4. Let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

  5. Once the grill is hot and ready, carefully place the marinated lamb on the grates. Close the lid and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes per side, depending on the desired level of doneness.

  6. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb. For medium-rare, aim for 135-140°F (57-60°C); for medium, aim for 145-150°F (63-66°C). Remove the lamb from the grill when it reaches your preferred temperature.

  7. Transfer the grilled butterflied leg of lamb to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

  8. Slice the lamb against the grain into thin pieces. Serve hot with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh salad.

  9. Enjoy the delicious flavors of the barbecue butterflied leg of lamb with your family and friends.
