STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

At 165°F, remove lamb. Add beef tallow over meat, wrap tightly in foil. Increase grill to 300°F and return wrapped lamb. Continue until internal reaches 200°F .
Step 5: Rest and serve*
Remove at 200°F. Rest in Cambro Go Box or cooler for 2 hours. Shred or slice, serve as is or in street tacos with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, salsa verde, cotija, and lime. Enjoy the tender, smoky perfection!
