Ingredients
- 1 lb Welsh lamb loin, sliced into strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking flatbreads)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (for serving, optional)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill
- Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the fire bowl.
- Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins.
- Light the paper and let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes.
Step 2: Marinate the Lamb
- In a mixing bowl, combine lamb strips with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, minced garlic, chopped mint, and melted butter.
- Let the lamb marinate while the grill heats up.
Step 3: Prepare the Mint Flatbreads
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Greek yogurt and warm water.
- Mix and knead the dough until soft and pliable.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll out into flatbreads.
Step 4: Sear the Lamb
- Place the lamb strips on the center grill grate at 1,000F.
- Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side to develop a rich, caramelized crust.
- Move the lamb to the flat cooktop griddle to finish cooking to the desired doneness.
- Remove the lamb from the grill when the internal temperature is 15F below the target, as it will continue to cook.
Step 5: Cook the Flatbreads
- Grease the flat cooktop with some butter.
- Place the flatbreads on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffy.
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
- Place grilled lamb on warm flatbreads.
- Top with a mix of diced cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, and salt.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips
- Always rest the lamb for 5 minutes before slicing for maximum juiciness.
- Adjust cooktop placement—closer to the center for higher heat, further for lower heat.
- Use high-quality Welsh lamb for the best flavor.
