Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless leg of lab, or top round

Instructions
- Combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Cut the lamb into 1½ to 2 inch cubes and trim any fat, gristle, or silver skin. Place the lamb in a large resealable plastic bag or glass container and pour the marinade over top. Stir until the meat is well coated then seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 1 day.
- Thread the meat loosely onto skewers alternating with pieces of red onion.
