Ingredients

  • 5 lbs Aussie boneless leg of lamb or shoulder
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsps black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 sweet onion sliced
  • 1/2 bottle beer
  • 16 slider buns toasted
  • red cabbage shredded
  • Carolina mustard BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Trim the excess fat from the lamb. Combine the salt, brown sugar, pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard and cumin. Rub all over the lamb. Refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, heat the grill to 300F with an indirect heat zone.
  • Place the onions in a disposable aluminum pan. Add a half a bottle of beer. Place the lamb on top of the onions. Place on the smoker; close the lid.
  • After the first hour and every 30 minutes after that, mop the lamb with the juices in the pan.
  • In about 2 hours, once the lamb has a mahogany color, cover the pan with foil. Continue cooking, until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 200F, about 45 minutes.
  • Separate the onions from the pan and reserve. Pull the lamb and toss with the juices.
  • Build your sliders on toasted buns with pulled lamb, braised onions and shredded cabbage. Top with Carolina mustard BBQ sauce.
