Ingredients
- 1 cup of vegetable oil and half a cup of distilled white vinegar are needed along with minced garlic cloves, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. A boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of fat, weighing three pounds, is required. Additionally, half a cup each of water and lemon juice, three-fourths cup of vegetable oil, two and a half cups of tomato puree, and two cups of chopped onions are essential. For added flavor, include distilled white vinegar, hot pepper sauce like Tabasco™, minced hot green chile peppers, garlic cloves, dry mustard powder, and salt.
Step 1
Combine a cup of vegetable oil, half a cup of vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Transfer the mixture into a sealable bag. Place the trimmed lamb leg inside, ensuring it is well-coated with the marinade. Seal the bag after squeezing out the excess air. Allow it to marinate at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Step 2
In the meantime, in a large saucepan, mix water, lemon juice, vegetable oil, tomato puree, onion, vinegar, hot sauce, minced chile, garlic, mustard powder, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for approximately 30 minutes until the onions are tender and the sauce thickens.
Step 3
Prepare the outdoor grill by preheating it to medium-low heat and lightly oiling the grate.
Step 4
Take the lamb out of the marinade, shaking off any extra. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the lamb on the preheated grill for 1 and a half to 2 hours, turning and basting it frequently with the flavorful barbecue sauce.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize airtight containers for storing leftover marinade from your succulent grilled Australian lamb leg recipe. This will ensure the flavors are sealed in and ready for your next barbecue adventure.
- 2. Consider using a vacuum sealer to preserve any extra portions of the lamb leg. This will help extend the shelf life and maintain the tenderness of the meat until you're ready to enjoy it again.
