Instructions
1- Marinate the Lamb:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, coarse salt, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
2- Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat setting.
- For authentic Brazilian churrasco, use a charcoal grill for that smoky flavor. Suggest model: Weber Original Kettle.
3- Skewer the Lamb:
- Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
4- Grill the Skewers:
- Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Continue until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and has a slightly charred exterior.
5- Serve:
- Transfer the grilled lamb skewers to a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional rosemary if desired. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides.
