Grilled Lamb Loin...

Today is our anniversary, so I thought I'd do something a little special... Grilled, marinaded loin of lamb, cous cous, and some sauted green beans.

As a side note, lamb really should be served medium rare to rare. It is delicious and tender this way.

Marinade:
1/3 c balsamic vinegar
1/3 c olive oil
4 long sprigs Rosemary
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt
pepper

Trim the lamb and butterfly it so that it lays fairly flat and is cut fairly even, about 1-2" thick.
Place it into the marinade for up to 4 hours, turning every hour or so.

Heat the grill to about 250-300 degrees, and place the lamb onto the grill.

Let sit about 8 minutes, then turn 40 degrees clockwise.

Let sit about 8 minutes, then turn over.

Let sit about 8 minutes, then turn 40 degrees clockwise.

Let sit about 8 minutes, then remove from heat and place on a warm plate.

Cover loosely with tin foil and let sit about 5-10 minutes for carry-over cooking.

Slice against the grain of the meat to create long strips.

Serve with your favorite side dishes.
