Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Leg Of Lamb Dry-Aged for 60 Days
  • Spices Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Meat that is dry-aged is generally a bit more delicate than regular wet-aged meat. There is less moisture in the meat, which requires that it not be cooked for too long.
  • Start by generously seasoning the meat with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides, then insert the two skewers on each side.
  • Place the skewer in the rotisserie and turn it on so the lamb rotates on the gas grill.
  • Turn on only the outer burners, as the lamb should be cooked with indirect heat. The "goal" is to have the temperature around 130 degrees Celsius (266 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • The lamb should cook for about 60 minutes at this temperature, followed by the last 15 minutes on higher heat. This is to get the crust properly crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer (place it in the thickest part of the lamb), and when the core temperature reaches 72 degrees Celsius (162 degrees Fahrenheit), it is done.
  • The meat does not need to rest afterward, as the juices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  • Cut the lamb off the bone in two whole pieces and then slice it thinly.
  • Serve immediately.
