Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the paste, place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix.

Remove the netting from the lamb. Coat the entire surface of the lamb with the paste. Place lamb on a baking sheet, cover and refrigerate for a t least 1 hr. or up to 24 hrs.

Position the broiler pan 4 to 5 inches away from the heating element and preheat the broiler and broiler pan, or prepare a medium-hot grill fire. Place the lamb,fat side down, on the broiler pan or grill rack.

Cook, turning once, until well seared but still juicy and pink on the inside, about 12 minutes on each side. Cook for a few minutes more on each side for medium.

Remove lamb from the oven or grill and let stand for 6 to 8 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foi. Cut lamb into 1/2 inch slices.
