Delicious Roasted Leg Of Lamb Recipe - Easy to Follow

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 whole leg of lamb (bone-in or boneless)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (for basting)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix garlic, soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, olive oil, black pepper, and salt.

    Whisk until well combined.
  3. Marinate the Lamb

    Rub the marinade all over the leg of lamb, ensuring it's well coated.

    For best flavor, marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Roast the Lamb

    Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

    Baste with vegetable broth every 30 minutes.
  5. Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

    Remove from oven a few degrees before desired doneness.
  6. Rest the Meat

    Let the lamb rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

    This helps retain juices.
  7. Serve

    Slice the lamb and serve it with your choice of sides.

    Pair with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
