Mary had a little lamb-------HAD!

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I was getting some groceries a couple days ago and was looking for a leg of lamb. WM didn't have any that day but they did have pre-seasoned lamb leg steaks. I was planning on making gyros but now I had the thought of lamb in my brain. I wasn't too sure about pre-marinated meat but too late brain wins.

I also made sure to make enough jalapeno poppers to last a couple days. I changed them up a little bit by mixing in some Kinders Woodfired Garlic seasoning with the cream cheese and cheddar cheese filling. I didn't have to do anything to prep the lamb so I fired up the smoker and let it go.

The poppers turned out way better this way. I will add the Kinders for now on.

I pulled Mary's little buddy out at 140F and it was great. I won't worry about the pre-marinated the next time I crave this.

The plate. I did have a second popper.

I’ve only had Lamb once and it’s not high on my list of meat to eat but I’d go for your plate! Nice work

Looks great. Curious what the lamb was seasoned with?

Nicely done! Man that looks great! LOVE lamb...sadly my wife does not. Add that to the "cook when she is out of town" list.

Ooo nice and rosy! Beautifully done. Must agree with @Ishi that lamb isn't too high up my list, but it is growing on me, and I'm sure your plate could convince me!

I tossed the package but I believe it was rosemary, garlic and savory.

Looks amazing! Is that bacon on top of the poppers? Added to my list of things to try - thanks!

Yes, it's bacon. I had some in the morning and cooked up a few extra strips. I put them in a ziplock bag and crushed them up.

I am in the wagon of not a big Lamb eater, not sure why. Just not.

BUT those poppers , I could do a big plate of those.

This reminds me I have a lamb shoulder in my freezer might just have to pull it out. Good cook!

looks pretty good! to do lamb takes a bit of know how. if not it tastes like it smells when raw. like a stockyard barn. lol i have only cooked and had it a couple times. it takes a lot of seasonings and prep for me to like it.

now you got me wondering if i shouldn't revisit this critter in the smoker! i wasnt brining meats way back when i cooked the lambs. im betting a good brine could get that stink out of the meat.

... im betting a good brine could get that stink out of the meat.

One of the de stink methods is an overnight soak in milk.

 

[in. pred]

i can see that working

I cooked up a few more since the last post and as of now this is my favorite. There is absolutely no gaminess to the taste of this cut. It is also simple and fast on a pellet smoker.

The packaging.

This is great for the baby pellet smoker. 250F for about 40 minutes.

Cooked to 147F IT. I let it rest for 15 minutes while the Rallys/Checkers fries were in the air fryer (another new favorite).

The plate. Ranch for the fries and Jack Daniels Honey BBQ for the lamb.

For those that are not sure about lamb give this a try and I am sure it will change your mind.

Last time I did grilled lamb chops I topped it off with a Smoked garlic and rosemary butter
