4 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1/4 cup dry red wine or beef broth

OVEN-ROASTED BONELESS LEG OF LAMB



Oven-Roasted Boneless Leg of Lamb image

I purchased a leg of lamb roast from the store recently but had no idea on how I'd cook it. After reading ideas here on Allrecipes, I came up with my own marinade. While I made this in a conventional oven, it could also be made in a slow cooker on the slow setting for 7 to 8 hours time). Hope it's a hit! There was enough marinade left that I threw it over some chicken tenders for tomorrow's dinner.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large unpeeled garlic cloves, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (6-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied
4 to 5 pounds small unpeeled potatoes (16 to 20 potatoes)
2 tablespoons good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven so the lamb will sit in the middle of the oven.
  • Peel 6 of the cloves of garlic and place them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and butter. Process until the garlic and rosemary are finely minced. Thoroughly coat the top and sides of the lamb with the rosemary mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Toss the potatoes and remaining unpeeled garlic in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and roast for another 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Place the lamb on a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: A boneless leg of lamb is the most popular cut for roasting. It's a large, tender cut that can easily feed a crowd.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice.
  • Cook the lamb properly: The best way to cook a boneless leg of lamb is to roast it in the oven. Cook the lamb to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: After the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes the lamb more tender.
  • Serve the lamb with your favorite sides: Roasted lamb can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Boneless leg of lamb is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can easily create a flavorful and tender roast lamb that your family and friends will love.
