So, Friday's going to be a good night. Getting butterflied lamb in to marinate today, and will do it wrapped around eye fillet and barbequed with a turkish pilaf on the side.
Did I mention copious amounts of red wine and NEIPA as well?
Cheesecake to finish, followed by lying on the couch groaning. Can't bloody wait
I gotta ask. Around a beef eye fillet or a lamb eye fillet? I can't get into my head the need to wrap an eye fillet. Won't it overcook for the lamb to cook to right temp?
Beef eye fillet.
I was going to use Sirloin, but wound up with an eye fillet ready to go so going to use that. I'll do it low and slow with smoke, and then sear the outside after a rest at the end. Basically a fat two meat roll of tastiness - it's a family recipe from way back. The lemon lamb offsets it nicely
Make sure to put a photo up

you really have to enjoy food rather than it simply be re fuelling.
I think you can really enjoy food without enjoying cooking. In fact I know it to be true.
Well yes. I’ve seen enough fat lazy fucks to verify. Just less so the other way round.

you don't have to enjoy food to enjoy eating. Fries, crisps, burgers, chicken ...

Gotta agree, this seemed an odd one. I love my meat, but this sounds like stuffing a chicken with a lamb shoulder...
I also actually dislike butterflied lamb as a rule, it never comes out tender for me.
But I'm always keen to see photos and be proven wrong!

Look, there is absolutely zero doubt that I'd eat this horrific concoction in a heartbeat, especially with some fine red wine to boot. In fact I'm salivating at the thought of it.
I'm just trying to be a little bit objective, and not such a slave to my Greek meat emotions...

Now it sounds like a doner chub. I've seen them made on TV, but they wouldn't use fillet. I'm interested to see and hear how it eats

The original recipe is for sirloin, but I'll make do

Life's tough sometimes
. The lamb should shield the beef just fine -
I gotta admit I too found it a little strange @nzzp however I’m convinced if you say it’s ace that it is.
I’m simply not a fan of eye fillet. I find it flavourless.
I’ve done turducken
was asked to ). Really expensive gimmick. Not horrible but pointless and a colossal waste of money and food. Eye fillet in lamb doesn’t sound like it’ll fail on either of those criteriaOne bbq’d butterflies lamb loads of times. I find it works fine as long as you ensure it’s a uniform thickness and treat it like a steak. Indirect 15 mins and then a char.

That said, we made our own. My wife and her Doctor mate were pretty handy with scalpels - deboned the birds, and then I cooked it super slowly and gently to get up to temp. Makes an amazing sight, particularly when you just slice it like bread
Separately, you bastards are putting the shits up me. I'm seriously contemplating just serving seared marinated lamb with a grilled steak on top. Same thing, but easier to get the cooking right for both options, and probably similar flavour profiles. I'm using the eye fillet as it was cheaper than the sirloin or butterflied lamb ... but far less forgiving in cooking it. Also, I may well be doing this after a long boozy lunch, so the risk factor is a damn sight lower

@Bones said in Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff:
So...lamb shank on the BBQ. Low and slow?
I've never tried that, only ever braised.
As @canefan mentioned they could easily dry out but there has to be a technique to fix that.
Be interested in the result.
