Lamb Souvlaki

  4.6 – 7 reviews  • Greek

It’s an uncomplicated, age-old dish that kids typically enjoy. You can substitute leaving out the onion rings and topping the hamburger with green beans if you’d like.

Ingredients

  1. ⅓ cup olive oil
  2. 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  3. 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
  4. 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. ½ teaspoon salt
  7. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  8. 1 ½ pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of all fat and cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

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

I loved this recipe I think the next time I will marinate it overnight. I put veggies on my skewers and it was amazing
Nicole Griffin
This was good! I made pork in my air fryer with only 2 tbsp oil, and doubled the garlic. At 450 degrees, it was done in about 18 minutes.

Great recipe. Made it exactly as written. Served it with rice pilaf and green beans. Will definitely be making again.

This recipe was a hit at my house! The marinade kept the lamb from having that gamy taste that lamb sometimes will. Along with a Greek salad and pita, I served it with two other recipes from this site: Molly’s Mouthwatering Tzatziki Cucumber Sauce and Rosemary Potatoes with Roasted Heads of Garlic. What a delicious meal!

I’ve never made lamb before and am so happy I chose this recipe. Excellent flavor and reminds me of what I’d get at a Greek restaurant. Easy to make with clear directions. Made as exactly as written and only marinated for 4 hours.Definitely something I will make again when I have lamb again. Thanks for the recipe!
