Blizzard Leg of Lamb for my Valentine

Here in Baltimore, where we got about 6 feet of snow in a matter of a week, I decided to try my best summer impression by grilling up a boneless leg of lamb for my wife for valentines day.

Took a 3 lb boneless leg of lamb, which was pre-twined and marinated in the following:

Didn't really measure, but from greatest to least:

Olive Oil
Lime Juice
Chipotle Mustard
Salt
Black Pepper
Rosemary
Thyme
Oregano
and a sprig of fresh mint

Vac-sealed the meat/marinade for about 6 hours.

Cleared a path on my deck to my Performer and reverse seared to 100 degrees before cranking up the heat to 600 and giving it a good crust.

Mmmmmmmm it was good.
 
Looks awesome! I love IPA's. Have you tried Bell's Brewery Hopslam yet? They sold out in one day here in Atlanta. I think they call it a douple ipa b/c of the hoppiness. oh, and it's 10% abv

Jeremy, that looks awesome! I wish my wife liked lamb. I am stuck ordering it at restaurants. Maybe I should buy and grill some and tell them that it's steak. Again, awesome looking lamb!

Do they sell that Nationwide ? I love IPAs as well, always up for a new one.

Thanks Chuck, give it a shot, what's the worst that happens? More lamb for you!
 
I cook Lamb at least once a week every way imaginable. One of my favourites is on the rotis with a marinade similar to the one above.
I think that marinades come down to personal taste and I found that what one likes another turns their nose up at.
A good marinade should have Oil, Acid and aromatics. The aromatics should be restricted to only a few like you have done above.
I don't generally add salt to a marinade, I season with salt just before cooking.
The photo is intriguing as we never have snow so it is hard to imagine barbecuing in such conditions.
Cheers

You know it is love when you have to push 5 feet of packed snow off the deck just to get to your grilling aparatus...
 
Nice pics Jeremy - thanks. And I am also a fan of Dogfish Head - it is made in Delaware just east of you. Their 90 min IPA is also high alcohol content.

Thanks again,

Ray
