Ready in about 45 minutes | Serves 8

These easy lamb skewers combine tender lamb, red onion and capsicum with a fresh lemon, garlic and oregano marinade. Grilled over medium-high heat, they're perfect for a quick BBQ meal or casual gathering.

Ingredients

800g lamb leg steaks, trimmed and cut into 2cm pieces
2 medium red onions, cut into chunks
3 red capsicums, seeded and cut into 2cm pieces
6–7 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
Lemon wedges, to serve

How to Make Lamb Skewers

1. Prepare the Skewers

Soak the bamboo skewers in water before using.

Thread the lamb, red onion and capsicum evenly onto the skewers and place them in a baking dish or tray.

2. Marinate the Lamb

Combine the lemon zest, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, chilli and olive oil in a bowl.

Pour the marinade over the skewers, turning them to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Grill the Lamb Skewers

Preheat a BBQ plate or char-grill over medium-high heat.

Grill the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

4. Rest and Serve

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and cover loosely. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes.

Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Tips for Better Lamb Skewers

Cut the lamb and vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook more evenly. Avoid overcrowding the skewers, and turn them regularly while grilling for an even char.

Final Thoughts

These grilled lamb skewers are an easy way to enjoy tender, flavourful lamb with fresh vegetables. Serve them straight from the BBQ with lemon wedges and your favourite sides.
