True Aussie Beef and Lamb Top Tips:

Name: Cabernet Rosemary Grilled Rack of Lamb and Watermelon Skewers
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: 2 racks of grass-fed Aussie lamb; 2 tablespoons sea salt; 1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper; 1 tablespoon garlic powder; 2 tablespoons rosemary leaves (chopped); 2 garlic cloves (minced); 2 shallots (chopped); 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 2 tablespoons cabernet sauvignon red wine; 1 tablespoon olive oil

Marinating – The best way to season meat is from the inside out. Place your Australian grassfed beef or lamb and marinade in a zip-lock bag and remove all air before sealing. Gently massage the meat for a couple of minutes to work the marinade into the meat. Then let the marinade work its magic. A good time rule is 1 hour for thin cuts; 6 to 8 hours for thick cuts; and overnight for roasting cuts like shoulders and legs.

Bring it up to room temperature – For a good exterior sear and a more even interior temperature, take your grass-fed beef and lamb out of the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes before cooking.

Resting – It’s a chef’s trick to let meat rest between cooking and slicing. Once out of the oven or off the heat, the meat relaxes and starts to reabsorb the juices. Give a steak or chop 5 to 10 minutes, and a roast 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll be thrilled with the juicier results.

Carving – With all meats, it makes for a more tender experience to slice or carve it across the grain. It’s best to find which way the grain runs before it’s cooked, so take a good look and make a mental note so you’ll remember when it comes out of the oven or pan.
