    Yum!!! Roast lamb my absolute fave!!

To me, turkey mince is a very gamey. And kangaroo is DEFINITELY gamey 😫 lol 😂

    Hi! Thank you so much for all the great tips on making leg of lamb, I’m planning on smoking one for an early friends Christmas party- at what internal temperature did you take the leg off the grill? I’ve seen so many discrepancies regarding lamb medium rare’s internal temperature. My best guess at the moment would be to take off around 135-138 Fahrenheit, double wrap in foil and let rest for 45-60 minutes so that it gets to 145-ish for medium rare- I would love to hear your thoughts though!

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      Great questions, Ben! The ginger adds a little kick that plays nicely with the unctuous texture of the lamb fat. You could also use a spicy pepper for this, but I'd be afraid to overpower. As for Dijon I haven't used it with leg of lamb, but I did a prime rib with Dijon as my binder for a similar flavor profile about a month ago (had to impress my girlfriend's father) and it turned out fabulous. Maybe try it on a cheaper cut like a rack of lamb or shoulder chops before experimenting on an expensive bone-in leg? But that's just me :-). Happy holidays I hope this works out to be a great Christmas dinner! -Al

    Great video. I’m planing on trying this method out using my Weber for Christmas dinner here in NZ. I usually use a water bath below the grill for moisture, with a few herbs etc, do you think this is necessary? Also, What was the overall cook time roughly. Thanks

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good for you! This one cooked fast - about 3 hours at 250°F/121°C. It started as about a 7lb/3.1kg leg but was probably down to about 5lb/2.8kg after I trimmed the shoulder to give you some perspective. On a Weber Kettle I think a water pan is a good idea, as it won't hold the moisture in the way a kamado style cooker will. I wouldn't bother with the herbs unless you plan to use the drippings for a lamb gravy, in which case you might think about using a beef or lamb stock instead of water in the pan.
      I hope this helps! And more-so I hope you have a wonderful Christmas gathered around an amazing smoked leg of delicious New Zealand lamb! Please come back and let me know how it turns out!

      Ha! I just went back and watched and sure enough I didn't say! I pulled at 133°F, wrapped it in foil and a towel and rested in a cooler for exactly 1 hour. When it came out of the cooler it temped at 132°, but as you can see from the color it had to get warmer than that, so I'm assuming continuation cooking probably took it up to 138° or so and I caught it on the way back down.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Jason and cheers from the US of A! As a rule, the thicker the cut of meat the lower the cooking temp I use. The long answer has to do with the Second Rule of Thermodynamics (rate of change in temp is directly correlated with the temp differences as each component strives to reach thermal equilibrium) but really all you need to know is that a thick cut (shoulder, leg) should generally be cooked at a lower temp than a thinner cut. So for big cuts I stay in the 225-250F range. Does this make sense?

      Hi Marios thanks for watching. Leg doesn’t have the connective tissues commonly associated with working muscles (like brisket or shoulder does) - so you can actually eat it medium rare. You can also take it up to 205+ for pulled lamb, although without the high fat and collagen content it won’t be as juicy as shoulder. I hope this helps! -Al

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You know I was thinking about my lamb superfan when I made this, Andrea! This was about 7 lbs before I started trimming. I got about 1.5 lbs of shoulder meat that Mrs. EMV ground up and used in a casserole, and as you could see I had to trim very little else so it was still over 5 lbs when it hit the grill. It took a total of 4 hours to cook, which is about an hour less than legs of lamb usually take - probably because it was a very lean cut.
      On the Frenching - a techniques vid is a great idea. I'm actually starting to do 2 videos per week starting this week - a regular "long format" video like this one, and a skills video that will be about 5 minutes. The first one will be out this Saturday - I'm demonstrating how I carved that leg. I will add Frenching to the list of skills vids I should film too. If there are other skills you want to learn, please let me know!

    Wondering if you could give me some advice (or post a vid) on how to smoke a boneless leg of goat? I get some good local goat meat and I don't want to ruin it

      Hi Savannah - thanks for watching! I did a bone-in goat leg for pulled goat a few months ago. It's kind of an insane recipe if you're up for it - but you can also use a less intense (or complicated) marinade and still get a great result. Let me know if you have any questions after this one - I'm happy to help brainstorm ideas with you! th-cam.com/video/IBm91agpp-Q/w-d-xo.html

      @@BehindTheFoodTV thanks so much! I looked through at your videos and saw the pulled goat recipe but didn't realize it was goat leg. I have quite a bit of cooking experience and a couple of years at culinary arts school under my belt. Is there anything in particular that I should do different considering the leg I have is Boneless?

      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@SavannahLeighh that's great! I love when other chefs watch my videos! Boneless will actually cook a little slower, so take your time. But more importantly, when they butcher the boneless leg they don't just take the bone and marrow, they take all of the connective tissue around it that breaks down into that wonderful unctuous texture that we've come to love about goat meat - so you'll want to replace that if you can. Try taking some of the fat and even silver skin that you trim from the outside and just laying it in the center where the bone was. Then truss the leg like you would a boneless leg of lamb. When you're done with your cook, remove whatever collagen and fiber that's left of that mass before pulling. The renderings from it should supplement enough that you get a similar experience.
      Please please please come back and let me know how it goes!

      Hi M. When it came out of the cooler it temped at 132°, but as you can see from the color it had to get warmer than that, so I'm assuming continuation cooking probably took it up to 138° or so and I caught it on the way back down. Let me know how it goes when you try it!

      @@tested123 outstanding! I would still keep your grill temp down in the 250-275 range. If you’re going all the way to 200F you don’t want to get there too fast or the fat won’t render as well.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Geoffrey! Some cuts, like racks of lamb and lamb chops take really well to being served rare. I think you'll find that if you cook cuts like leg of lamb to medium rare that the connective tissue breaks down with the fat which makes it both more tender (counterintuitive, I know) and more flavorful (fat is taste, right?). Maybe I should do a comparison video? Anyway thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you'll stick around for more!

      @@BehindTheFoodTV I saw your other video where you cooked a full shoulder to about 200 degrees. Why is the leg so much cooler at 133?

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@PhaedruS007 that's an awesome question, Paul! Some muscles have more connective tissue than others. Shoulders, for example, have so much collagen and connective tissue that if you cook them to medium rare they will be safe, but so tough that they will be basically inedible. This is true of pork shoulder, lamb shoulder, goat, etc. Bringing them up over 200 allows the collagen to render into gelatin and allows all of the wonderful intramuscular fat to render and absorb into the muscle fibers. Legs, on the other hand, have some connective tissue, but not a lot. So as long as you're over 130° the fat will at least partially render so it will be tender and juicy. Now just to complicate things, legs are one of those cuts that actually can be taken up to "pulling temp". In fact in a few weeks on January 30th I'll be publishing a video of a goat leg that I took to over 200° and pulled. Two totally different experiences - pulled meat over 200 vs sliced meat medium or lower. The only thing that's a really bad idea is the range in between - Well Done. With well done meat you don't get the tender juicy meat of medium rare, and it's too tough to pull.
      Sorry for the long answer - I hope this helps explain it!

    As a born and bred South Australian. You must try Kangaroo Island salt bush lamb. Tender,succulent, Juicy and a unique flavour combination just paired with the similar technique of studding the outer surface with rosemary and garlic. Just twice as much. Season well with salt and pepper. Cook in the Weber kettle for approximately 2.5 has for a 3kg leg. And enjoy with roast potatoes carrots sweet potato and pumpkin cooked under the meat with the drippings basting the veg. Enjoy!!!!

    Qik tip - pop down to ur local Indian spice store & buy the crushed ginger garlic mix. Gets in beta Dan slices. Can still do garlic cloves in addition. Another flava pumper is to push cloves into da gashes but remember to take it out before serving. I like to soak it in red wine for a night den do da Dry rub.
