Method

Marinating the Lamb:

1. Place all marinade ingredients into a food processor & pulse until blended.
2. In a large bowl, add mixture to the cutlets. Pour in just enough beer to totally cover the meat.
3. Gently combine Beer, meat and marinade well. Seal bowl with clingwrap & let marinate in the refrigerator for minimum 1 hour.

Making the dipping sauce:

1. Place all the dipping sauce ingredients into a food processor & pulse until blended. Set aside.

To grill the Lamb:

1. Take the Lamb out of the refrigerator to rest until room temperature – about an hour or so.
2. Preheat the BBQ to high. Drain off excess marinade. Reduce grill to medium high.
3. Cook cutlets until desired level of doneness.

– For medium rare, cook for about 2-2.5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of the Lamb.

Serve with your favourite grilled vegies or a fresh salad.

Serve dipping sauce on the side or use as a bread spread.

Nelly’s Secret Tip:

For a rounder, milder dipping sauce, pre-roast Garlic & Golden Eschalot. First, cut off tops of bulbs. Saturate both Garlic & Golden Eschalot in Olive Oil & roast at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until soft. Bulbs should pop out when squeezed. Roast a few bulbs & store in a jar for later use as a spread, to stir through salads or to add to dressings.
