Boneless Leg of Lamb and Potatoes

Deggman

So I found a boneless leg of lamb in my freezer and decided to have my Mom (who can cook the best leg o lamb you will ever eat) over for dinner to show her how good the BGE can do! I cooked it exactly as she would cook one in the oven. It is a simple method, I marinated it for the day in EVOO, crushed garlic, rosemary, pepper, sea salt, thyme and sage. Then an hour before the cook I poured red wine vinegar into the bag with the lamb. I then rolled and tied the meat. I cooked it at 350* on a v-rack over a drip pan, with platesetter legs up. Once the meat is on the Egg pour all the marinade over the lamb, so it ends up in the drip pan, now you can baste with the juices about 4 times during the cook. It took about an hour and 20 minutes to get it to 145* (used a Maverick ET-7) then let it rest for about 5 minutes. It was the juiciest leg of lamb any of us have ever had ( and we eat alot of lamb)! The potatoes were cooked along side the lamb in a foil "boat" with evoo, rosemary and garlic. Needless to say, the EGG does it again!

Thanks for the detailed information on the cook!! I really like it when someone takes the time to put it all down on something different like this. I have one in the freezer myself I need to do as it has been there for a couple months and needs to be eaten. I'll try you recipe with it.

You're welcome! I don't use measurements when seasoning or marinating, so just wing it, but one thing is when it comes to the salt when you think you have put enough on, go ahead and put a little more. And it is one of the easiest things I have cooked on the egg so far. And one of the best!

I'm with JLOCKHART, thanks for the details! I cook lamb chops pretty often and have been wanting to try a leg. I am bookmarking your marinade/method! :cheer:
