I followed the recipe but it came out way too tough! I think I overcooked it. Is 1.5 hours too long? I thought it would be juicy. 😕 2 stars.
1.5 hours should be enough for medium-rare. Maybe the oven was too hot? Can’t blame the recipe completely.
You probably overcooked it, yeah. But sometimes meat can be tough no matter what. I had my share of tough lamb too. 🤷♂️
Absolutely delicious! I made this for my family last weekend and they couldn’t stop raving about it. The garlic and rosemary really shine! 5 stars!
That sounds amazing! I love lamb, but I always thought it would be too hard to make. Maybe I’ll give it a try now!
But wait, isn’t lamb kinda greasy? I dunno, seems like too much fuss for meat. I’d rather just grill chicken.
This lamb was OK, but I’m used to making it with a bunch of spices… This felt a bit plain. Next time, I might add some chili flakes! 3 stars.
