Ingredients
-
¼ cup honey
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
-
2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
5 pounds whole leg of lamb
-
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Directions
-
Mix honey, garlic, rosemary, mustard, lemon zest, and pepper together in a small bowl. Place lamb in a flat dish; rub mixture over lamb. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Transfer lamb onto a rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt to taste.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and roast for 55 to 60 more minutes for medium rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 120 degrees F (50 degrees C). Let lamb rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
Editor's Note:
USDA recommends cooking all raw lamb steaks, chops, and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source.
