Our favourite way to cook butterflied lamb is on the BBQ and it doesn’t take long at all.

Start off quite hot to get some caramelisation going and then turn the heat down a little to finish the lamb off (probably 15-20 minutes maximum).

As this cut of meat can have different variations in thickness you may find the finished cook is not entirely even throughout. For best results, use a thermometer to check the thickest parts are done to your liking – medium rare: 55C/130F (our preference).

Allow the lamb to rest before slicing.
