Introduction

These Scottish Lamb Cutlets with Rosemary and Garlic are the perfect grilled dish for any occasion. Utilizing the Arteflame grill, you’ll achieve a restaurant-quality sear at over 1,000°F, locking in the juices before finishing on the flat cooktop to desired doneness. The unique cooking zones ensure perfect results every time. Let’s fire up the grill and get started!

Ingredients

• 8 Scottish lamb cutlets
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Vegetable oil (for lighting the grill)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the grill and stack firewood on top.
3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to establish—this process takes about 20 minutes.
4. Once the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, you're ready to start cooking!

Step 2: Marinate the Lamb Cutlets

1. In a small bowl, mix garlic, rosemary, melted butter, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
2. Coat the lamb cutlets evenly with the marinade.
3. Let them rest for at least 15 minutes while the grill heats up.

Step 3: Sear the Lamb Cutlets

1. Place the lamb cutlets on the center grill grate to sear at 1,000°F.
2. Cook for 2 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.

Step 4: Finish on the Flat Cooktop

1. Move the lamb cutlets to the flat cooktop, positioning them in a slightly cooler zone.
2. Continue cooking to your preferred doneness: 125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium.
3. Remove the lamb cutlets from the grill when the internal temperature is 15°F below your desired doneness, as they will continue cooking off the grill.

Tips

• Let the lamb cutlets rest for 5 minutes before serving to redistribute juices.
• Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
• Grill vegetables alongside the lamb on the flat cooktop for a complete meal.

Variations

1. Spicy Harissa Lamb: Replace rosemary with a harissa spice blend for a fiery kick.
2. Mediterranean Herb Mix: Add oregano and thyme for a Mediterranean flair.
3. Balsamic Glazed: Drizzle with a balsamic reduction after grilling.
4. Garlic Butter & Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan while grilling for extra umami.
5. Mint & Honey Glaze: Brush with a honey-mint glaze right before finishing on the flat cooktop.

Mastering grilled Scottish lamb cutlets is simple with the Arteflame grill. The intense sear followed by gentle finishing on the flat cooktop results in tender, flavorful meat. Serve with grilled sides, and enjoy a spectacular outdoor cooking experience.
