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).
