Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1 pound American Lamb stew meat
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Zest of half a large lemon
- Generous pinch salt & pepper
For Serving:
- Tortillas
- Cucumber, (chopped)
- Roma tomatoes, (diced)
- Red onion, (sliced)
- Fresh greens
- Tzatziki
- Feta cheese
- A squeeze of lemon juice
Directions
Marinate the American Lamb: Add the lamb to a Tupperware container with all the marinade ingredients. Attach the lid tightly and shake to combine everything. Let marinate in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Grill the Lamb: Heat your grill over medium heat. Add the lamb to a grill pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-10 minutes. Cut into one of the larger pieces to check for doneness - if a larger piece is done, the rest should be too. Smaller pieces will be well done, and larger pieces will be medium well.*
*The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, followed by a 3-minute rest when finished cooking.
Serve and Store:
Assemble your tacos with all the fixings! Enjoy immediately. Store leftover lamb meat in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
