Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Herb-Infused Lamb Shank.
Step 1
Start by creating criss-cross slits in your lamb shank, spacing them about an inch apart and cutting about half an inch deep.
Step 2
This not only helps the flavors penetrate but also gives it a beautiful presentation.
Step 3
Place the lamb shank in a shallow dish, ready for marinating.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together a delightful blend of olive oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, mint, black pepper, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 5
This aromatic mixture will infuse your lamb with incredible flavor.
Step 6
Brush this herbaceous concoction generously over the lamb shank, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated, then cover and refrigerate it for at least an hour to let those flavors mingle and deepen.
Step 7
While the lamb is soaking up all that goodness, preheat your grill to medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine fresh lemon juice with honey, stirring until smooth.
Step 9
This sweet and tangy glaze will add a wonderful finish to your dish.
Step 10
Once your grill is ready, place the marinated lamb shank on the grate.
Step 11
Every 15 minutes, baste it with the lemon-honey mixture, allowing the flavors to caramelize beautifully.
Step 12
Grill the lamb until it’s perfectly browned on the outside and still a lovely red in the center, which should take about 30 minutes per side.
Step 13
To ensure it’s cooked to perfection, use an instant-read thermometer; you’re aiming for a temperature of 125°F (52°C).
Step 14
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as your lamb shank cooks, and get ready for a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
