Trader Joe's Burgundy Pepper Lamb Tips

The pros:  Trader Joe's Burgundy Pepper Lamb Tips have a super tasty spice combination on lamb slices.

The cons:  Australian lamb, no burgundy (red wine) according to the ingredients.

The verdict:  For $16.62 for the package I bought or $9.99 per pound you get a bag of lamb that is cut into pieces which are uneven. Uneven pieces shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as you keep an eye on these during the cooking process. The difference sizes means they will cook at different times. It might be a problem if you are trying to make kabobs out of these as you want more evenness. Aside from that what you are getting is a nicely seasoned slices of lamb which have pepper, sugar, garlic, onion, and most importantly, but not listed in the ingredients, rosemary. Grilled in a cast iron skillet on high heat these were moist, tender, and had the lamb taste that I was looking for. It had some fat but wasn't greasy. Would be best served with rice, pita bread or one of Trader Joe's Naan varieties. Makes an easy and quick dinner without having to take the time to marinade the meat. If you live a busy life style or just hate cooking, this is a good way to go.
