Description

These lamb souvlaki skewers are made with tender chunks of lamb flavored with a lemon and oregano Greek marinade, grilled until juicy and charred.

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of all fat and cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl.
3 Add cubed lamb and stir until lamb is coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours, or overnight.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread marinated lamb onto skewers, reserving any remaining marinade.
5 Grill skewers until desired doneness, 10 to 12 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade and turning occasionally for even cooking.
6 Serve and enjoy!
