Step 1
Rub the 2 lb lamb with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let it sit while you prepare the fire.
Step 2
Build a medium-hot fire with wood or charcoal, and set a rotisserie spit or grill grate about 6 inches above the coals.
Step 3
Secure the lamb on the spit or place it on the grate. Cook over the fire, turning occasionally, until the outside is deeply browned and charred in spots, about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare.
Step 4
Check doneness: the internal temperature should read 130°F for medium-rare, or the meat should feel firm yet springy when pressed. If you like it more done, cook 5-10 minutes longer.
Step 5
Remove the lamb from the fire and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve hot with any pan juices.
