Prepare grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry. Discard the used marinade. Grill the meat directly over the heat elements for 1.5 hours or until desired doneness, turning halfway through. Remove from the grill, insert a meat thermometer and tent for approximately 10 minutes. Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer; it should register 130ºF (54ºC) while resting. Thinly slice, then serve immediately.
