Instructions

Rosemary Rub

Mix salt, rosemary and pepper in a small bowl. This is important because you don't want cross-contamination.

Roasting Lamb

Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees F. Adjust oven racks so that lamb will roast on the bottom third of your oven.
With a long, thin knife, make several deep cuts into the roast. Put a sliver of garlic into each cut. Coat all sides of meat with rosemary/salt rub (discard any un-used herb rub).
Roast lamb, fat side up, at 500 degrees for 20 minutes.
Reduce oven to 375 degrees and continue roasting until internal temperature reaches the proper temperature to your liking.
For medium rare, remove at 135 degrees F. (It will continue cooking after you remove it from the oven another 10-15 degrees).
If you prefer yours rare, pull at 130 degrees F. For medium lamb, pull at 145 to 150 degrees F.

Notes

For medium rare, remove at 135 degrees F. (It will continue cooking after you remove it from the oven another 10-15 degrees).
Figure on 6-8 ounces of meat per person for a boneless leg of lamb.
Cooking time will range from 20 to 25 minutes per pound depending on desired temperature.
For medium rare, remove at 135 degrees F. (It will continue cooking after you remove it from the oven another 10-15 degrees).
