Ingredients
- 8 Lamb leg steaks
- 1 Lemon
- 150ml Red Wine
- 50ml Olive oil
- 2 Cloves of garlic, crushed
- 5 tbsp Fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
This is a delicious dish for barbecued meat lovers using tasty, tender lamb. I have used a special marinade, which works particularly well, not only with the lamb, but with chicken, too. However, if you wish, you can use a different marinade of your own. The succulent leg of lamb, flavored with red wine and parsley makes an interesting variation to the more usual barbecued beef. For proper meat preparation, we recommend always having a versatile hunting knife at hand so you can make nice clean cuts and preserve the best parts of the meat.
For this recipe, it is important to ensure that the barbecue coals are really hot before popping the steak on the grill, or the meat can become dry and tough. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare the marinade and 12-15 minutes to barbecue and it serves around 8 people. This salad recipe is the perfect accompaniment for a delicious outdoor, or indoor, meal.
