No one knows lamb better than our farm partner Carrie Woolley from Woolleys Lamb. She shared some of her personal tips and favourite ways to enjoy lamb burgers!
Grass-fed lamb is packed with richer flavour compared to its grain-fed counterpart – which makes for a pretty awesome starting point when cooking dinner. The biggest culprit when cooking lamb is overcooking which can make the meat dry or tough. Carrie suggests aiming for medium-rare when grilling your lamb steaks to avoid toughness. Since grass-fed lamb has lower fat content than grain fed, the cooking times are actually around 20-30% shorter – so keep an eye on your meat!
Like we mentioned in this post here, remember to never flip your steaks by puncturing it with a fork. Save those flavour-packed juices!
Because grass-fed lamb is so rich, Carrie’s favorite way of enjoying it is by simply adding rosemary and a little salt and pepper. A little can go a long way with grass-fed meats because of their more complex and dimensional flavours.
If you’ve got a grill coming up soon and you’re looking for new ways to enjoy your lamb, try a lamb burger with pre-made patties straight from Woolleys’ Lamb! Currently, these lamb burgers loaded up with a ton of garlic mayo is Carrie’s summertime go-to meal!
