These grilled lamb kabobs are the answer to your Mediterranean flavor cravings! Marinated with zesty flavors then cooked on the grill, stove or oven to tender, juicy perfection.
Prep the Lamb: Trim fat from the lamb and cut into 1 - 1 1/2" cubes.
Make the Marinade: Whisk all marinade ingredients in a bowl or pulse them in a food processor until combined.
Marinate the Lamb: Toss lamb cubes with marinade in a bowl or ziplock bag, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (ideally 24 hours) for maximum flavor.
Prepare for Grilling (Optional for Wooden Skewers): Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes if using.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, cook in a skillet with oil or under the broiler.
Grill the Kabobs: Sear kabobs for 3-5 minutes per side, rotating them, until cooked through (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium), about 10 to 15 minutes total. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Rest & Serve: Transfer kabobs to a platter, and rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt (optional).
Notes
Marinate for at least 45 minutes if short on time, but 8+ hours is best.
Kabobs can be grilled, broiled, or pan-seared.
Skip veggie skewers on the same kabobs as lamb – they cook at different rates.
Opt for separate veggie skewers or cook them at different times.
Use pre-soaked wooden skewers or opt for reusable metal skewers.
