Once i was landed on Jakarta, i contact my fellow wordpress blogger, Tintin Samsyudin from Tinsyam.Wordpress.Com, she replied preety quickly then agreed to meet up in Dapur Bollywood, an authentic northen Indian cuisines restaurant on Pasar Festival Plaza, Jakarta.  For my surprised, i thought she was about 25 to 30 years lady and actually she was much older than that. I simply thought that she’s younger because she wrote a hillarious fun post or food review on her  Tinsyam blog. She was a generous and humbly american post-doctoral graduates who could interacted with any person at any ages. While enjoying my lamb biryani and chicken curry at Dapur Bollywood, she invited me to cook into her kitchen and had a wagyu beef fest with  her several Indonesian postcrossing friends.

Tinsyam prepare a chicken biryani for our meet up lunch, beside she had wagyu topside steak and steak cut fatty lamb leg that already marinated ovenight before on her fridge. She challenged me to roast the lamb leg steak and the wagyu steak into perfection, the wagyu steak will be the next following recipe in Dentist Chef. Back into the lamb job, eversince the lamb leg is quite marbled, i prefer too slow cooked the lamb leg steak. Slow cook means a low heat (flame) with prolonged time for roasting the lamb leg to tenderize and rendered the fat within slowly throughly cook the meat.  The basic technic for roasting meat that marinated with barbecue sauce is cleaned up or wipe out the barbeque sauce from the meat first  before grilling or roasting to prevent the sauce burned out while cooking. Applied the barbecue sauce in the middle of the cooking right after the meat reach medium done, if you insist to appied the sauce from the early roasting, you will got a burned out and bitter barbecued lamb.

Roasting American lamb is preety easy, you could use either slow cooking or even rapid cooking. American lamb texture is very tender due to high fat ratio content, but it got a very very mild gamey lamb flavour. Slow roasting made the lamb well done and tender even more while high temperature roasting creates a crusted outer layer and tender medium done meat. I guess American lamb it’s a kinda lamb for the ladies and mostly gourmet meat store recommendation for anyone who didn’t like gameyflavour. As a lamb person, i love my lamb taste like a  lamb with it’s natural gamey flavour. That’s why i prefer New Zealand lamb better than the American lamb because it’s more gamey, even it’s leaner and not as tender as American lamb. American lamb is more suits for dry coooking like roasting, grilling or pan searing because it’s very tender, while New Zealand lamb suits for wet cooking like stewing or braising.
