BBQ Butterflied Leg of Lamb

The general consensus on the web is to apply the rub or marinade at least two hours in the fridge and bring out to sit for thirty minutes prior to cooking.

For roasting :-

Preheat the barbecue to 200ºC (the burners should be set at medium), brush it  lightly with oil. Season with salt, pepper and flavourings.  Place the lamb in the centre of the barbecue, turn the burners directly under the meat off and cook indirectly.

Close the lid and roast for the recommended cooking time:

    Rare: 20-25 mins per 500g
    Medium: 25-30 mins per 500g
    Well done: 30-35 mins per 500g

Cover loosely with foil and rest for 10-20 minutes before carving. Carve the roast across the grain to ensure tenderness.

 Xmas 2015.  A 2.5kg butterflied leg marinated in an olive oil and "Mediteranean" rub bought of the shelf at Outdoor Chef  and cooked reverse seared for 40 mins, then 5 mins either side.

The result was smacko, with family raving about my skills!

Served with a gravy made from juices off the BBQ plate.
