105 min6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 lb bone-in leg of lamb · trimmed of excess fat
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves · minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary · finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme · finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper · freshly ground
  • 1 lemon · juiced

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the oven and lamb

    Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the lamb completely dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Make and apply the herb rub

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture evenly all over the lamb.

  3. 3

    Initial high-heat roast

    Roast in the preheated oven at 425°F for 20 minutes to brown the crust and render the fat.

  4. 4

    Lower heat and finish roasting

    Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 135°F for medium-rare, about 60 to 70 minutes.

  5. 5

    Rest and carve

    Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before carving against the grain.
