True Aussie Beef and Lamb Busted Myths:

Myth: It’s “gamey”
Truth: Its flavor is actually closer to what Mother Nature intended because the animals only eat lush, green and abundant pastures. Australian lamb is mild and almost nutty in flavor and aroma.

Myth: It’s dry
Truth: Only if you over-cook it. Seared in a hot pan or grill, grass-fed beef and lamb are more tender, flavorful and juicy between rare and medium. Cuts like legs and shoulders require a longer cook time, low and slow is the best way to go.

Myth: My kids won’t like it!
Truth: Why not? Grass-fed beef and lamb are mild in flavor, juicy and tender. And we tested lamb with kids (without telling them), and they loved it!

Instructions

preheat your Big Green Egg to cook direct at 400 degrees. (or gas grill to high heat).

prepare the lamb chops:

1. Make the seasoned mint salt rub: mix in mini food processor or chop finely on board. Rub the lamb chops generously with the seasoned mint salt rub on both sides. Set aside.

prepare the grilled peaches:

1. Wash and cut peaches in half, remove pits and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.

prepare the parmesan mint pesto:

1. In a mini food processor, grinder, or finely chop on a board: First, finely chop the mint, garlic, and untoasted pine nuts, parmesan, and a pinch of salt. Then slowly add the olive oil to the moving food processor, or mix in a bowl.  It should be thick and chunky like a paste, not drippy with olive oil. Set aside.

grill the lamb chops and peaches:

1. Place the lamb chops and peaches (cut side down) on the grill, and close the lid for 4-5 minutes. Carefully open the BGE, and flip over the lamb chops and cook another 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Check the peaches, and remove from grill once they have nice grill marks on a platter. Serve grilled lamb chops and grilled peaches arranged on a platter with parmesan mint pesto over each lamb chop. Garnish with extra mint. Serve with cool drinks and a salad.
