The Best Smoked Lamb Shoulder - New Zealand Lamb on a Big Green Egg

Показать описание

In this episode, we teach you how to season, cook, and pull the perfect lamb shoulder. We did it on a Big Green Egg, but you can do this on any grill or smoker. This lamb shoulder recipe will produce a tender and moist pulled lamb every time.

We got our hands on a whole butchered New Zealand lamb. Everyone does videos on lamb chops and leg of lamb, so we decided to start with the lamb shoulder to show you something you might not have seen before. If you'd like to also see videos on the rack, leg, or even shanks make sure you comment and let us know!

Lamb shoulder - and by extension pulled lamb - isn't a very common dish in North America. In Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand it's very common. Fun fact - the average Mongolian eats over 100lbs of lamb in a year!

If you've ever smoked a pork shoulder (a Boston Butt or Picnic Roast), then you can make a lamb shoulder. The seasonings are a bit different but the process is similar.

Lamb has a distinctive flavor, so while it will cook and look very similar to pulled pork, the lamb will stand up to more aggressive and nuanced flavors and aromatics. In this recipe, we forewent the usual bbq dry rub in favor of an herb crust made with Irish butter, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (our Simon & Garfinkel special!) and smoked it low and slow over FOGO charcoal.

Watch to the end - the look on Leah's face the first time she tastes pulled lamb is pretty telling.

this video is amazing. I've had the New Zealand lamb while visiting Sydney Australia. Still drooling a bit.. It wasn't quite the way you made it but it brought back many fond memories. Thanks for all you do for the BBQ community. Great job.

Middle eastern guy here, I tried this recipe on a leg of lamb, and it worked like a charm. Tomorrow trying it on a proper shoulder as it was difficult to convince my butcher to do the cut as you have it. YOU ARE THE KING OF COOKING VEGANS

I have just now finished eating the leftovers of my Christmas Eve Lamb Shoulder. It was excellent when I first cooked it and stayed amazing as leftovers. It ended up taking just under 8 hrs. I got it on the smoker (Z-Grills) just after 615 and took it off at 2pm. Let it rest until 430 when I shredded and served. Thank you again!

I tried this today. 3kg bone in shoulder took 8hrs at 130c. Pretty good for 1st try. Good flavours. Thanks for sharing. I struggled with maintaining that constant temp for so long but end result was good.

This was just amazing really loved it 👍😃 In my country Norway. We eat far less lamb today then 25 years ago. Hope video like yours will change this. 👏

Lamb shoulder is my go too on the smoker. Far superior than leg. I like to use mesquite wood chips and a Baharat rub.
Great video 👍

I was literally yelling at the screen for you to re-use the juices when you wrapped the lamb.
Looks amazing bro! Well done
