Lamb rump

1

Combine all Chimichurri ingredients in a bowl, mix well and let this sit for a few hours before using! This gets better the longer you chill it so I would recommend doing this the day before using if possible.

2

Preheat BBQ to 200°C with coals. Push all coals to one side of the BBQ once heated.

3

Rub your lamb rumps in olive oil then add your favourite rub ensuring you cover all sides. Add the lamb rumps onto the opposite side of where you put your coals in the BBQ, cook for 15 minutes for rare or an extra 5 minutes for a medium rare to medium cook.

Add your skillet to the BBQ directly over the hot coals, add garlic butter and rosemary to the pan then add your lamb rumps to the pan once the butter has gone golden brown and very hot.

5

Cook for 1 minute per side, remove from the BBQ and rest before slicing and serving.
