Boneless leg of lamb is versatile and easy to prepare. One of my favorite and easiest rubs for lamb combines the flavors of garlic and rosemary.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

One 3 1/2- to 4-pound boneless leg of lamb
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Position the oven racks so that there is one rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 425°F.

    Step 2

    Stir together the mustard, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil to make a paste and spread it evenly over the lamb. Insert the oven probe or a meat thermometer into the center of the lamb.

    Step 3

    Roast the lamb in the center of the oven for 20 minutes at 425°F. Reduce the temperature to convection roast at 350°F and roast for 30 more minutes or until the temperature reaches 130°F for rare, 140°F for medium-rare, or 160° to 170°F for well-done.

    Step 4

    Remove the lamb from the oven; cover with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
