I cooked a 6LB Boneless leg of lamb roast and had incredible results. 138 degrees. 7 hours. Tender but still had good texture. It didn't get mushy. I also used the mustard powder trick and then seared with rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. I seared using the broiler in the oven rotating as needed. Do not be afraid to get some color during the sear, it's a big piece of meat that will not overcook.
For whatever reason, I've been on a Leg of Lamb recipe collecting this week and have been watching as many different ways of preparing this dish as possible, and this one seems to be the best.
When I was growing up in the 60's and 70's, dad always made this dish with slits all over the meat and stuffed them with garlic cloves and I believe rosemary but I don't remember exactly. What I do remember is the mint jelly that he'd spread all over the lamb just before serving it and it was quite delicious indeed!
I haven't had leg of lamb, chops, rack of, shoulder or anything in nearly twenty years and I've been vegetarian since 2015. I'm getting weak and developing a hankering for some lamb, gosh darn RUclips!!
Practice intuitive eating and fo for it. It's not like you have to start eating meat every day if your body is telling you what it's missing every once and a while.

Thanks! I did in fact buy a leg of Lamb around Thanksgiving (November) 2019, and it's still in my freezer as I haven't cooked it as yet. Now I'm dying for Duck and Goose....
I'm a mess....
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've made this no less than half a dozen times and it never fails to impress.
do you have the excact recipe along cravy technique?it would be great if you helped ,it looks amazing
I made this for Christmas dinner this week. It was a big success. Besides frying the herbs, this recipe was super simple and stress free. As I was cooking for a large group, I cooked a turkey sous vide as well. Cooking for groups has never been so easy. Joule is simply amazing!!
I just firstly want to say the biggest thank you for all you and the team do for us, the amount of knowledge you all process is on point. I know you worked on making modernist cuisine which is a book that changed the face of the industry, I wish I Would of been able to go on that journey with you and come out the other side like some sort of food Jedi. All of the videos are so informative and break things down in such a simple way, inspirational and comforting. Not many people have the balls to do what you and the team has done, your ground breaking explorers setting the rope for others to follow, be it all for free more people should understand the situation, you backed a product which Benefits ordinary people, hope it works out well. Lastly have watched so many of your videos and keep seeing such negative comments and damn right disrespect, just know your true followers may not comment much but we are there progressing with your guidance. Best of wishes and move past the Neg heads, they are but flys buzzing around your heads.
I've done this several times, and it's great. To add some complexity, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, coriander seeds, and other South East Asian spices are great too! Also, you don't necessarily have to strain the juices, but it does help get some of the seasoning lumps if the mustard, salt, and pepper decided to clump in the bag.
Another note, this recipe is great for rack of lamb inside a Solar Cooker.
I used a Solar Cooker for 5 hours.
The lamb racks came out perfectly medium rare. Finished them off over fire and it was delish as is with campfire cooked baked potatoes.
interested in solar cooking, and definitely want to try that campfire version. what tools and resources do you recommend?
and how do you keep the ravenous animals away from that thing for 5 hours?
I did one today before watching this video... 132 degrees for 10 hours.. finished on charcoal.. it was the best lamb I ever tasted. The meat was extremely tender. But, there was still some tough connective tissue that might have disolved with a longer cooking time. Next time I am going to try this method for sure.
This is a thing of beauty!
Tried it. The recipe is 5 star. Absolute perfection!
What is this box with boiling water ?
@@e.e5695 It's basically a low temperature slow cooking method which makes the meat incredibly juicy and tender. It's called "sous-vide". If you want the leg of lamb to be at 55° C core temperature, you put it in a bag and cook it in a water bath at exactly 55° C. That way the meat can't overcook and turns out perfect every time.
O M G!!!! I am drooling!!! Never seen lamb cooked this way.
There instrumentals are amazing!! So relaxing
Totally impressed !
I don't see any way that it was left with gamey taste...Awesome. -Gotta try it !
Done it twice now. Lamb was always our favourite and it just got better!
This was the first recipe video that made my cry with tears. Its not just food porn this is pure unconditional love of perfect food. Fantastic! Bravo!
Made this in the weekend, turned out fine.
Thank you for including the metric measurements. Yes you overlooked the flavor measurements per leg of lamb, or was it me? You are easy to listen too. Keep it up. 🇿🇦
honestly i used to just watch every video on this channel every week from the sheer quality back in highschool
God bless your hands sir.ChefSteps is my fav. channel and my guideway.I am following you guys and observing.I think you and whole team are having so much fun out there and i am dreaming about be a chef like you and perhaps meet you guys :)
like your sound effects and the butcher info was helpful, after that I can't do the rest because I've never seen that water bath thing and definitely don't have a convection oven
How long is the cooking time and at what temperature??
Hey guys first of all you make a beautiful work with everything you cooked it's amazing I have watched every video since the beginning of your channel I've been a fan for so long time, so my question is when are you going to have international shipping for Joule it looks so practical I'm from Mexico and I really need one of those in my life, keep the good things coming, congratulations.
Nice to see Napoleon dynamite's brother again
You beat me to it by two years
Espectacular!!! La mejor receta de pierna de cordero
thank you. this is perfect. exactly what i neeeded
Hi please help. At what temperature should I roast in the oven and for how long?
Mustard seasoning worked like a charm. Big hit with the group to tone down the gamey flavor!
This is so amazing! Who is this guy?? I want to watch everything he does! Has anyone tested this at home?
These guys don't really need Joule to create delectable food, I'll bet! I have a feeling they could do just as well without the toys. They may not enjoy the process as much, but their skills are obvious and they are impressive!
what temperature do you put it in the oven and for how long?
440-460 15-20m
I’m a big fan of lamb, but have never made it. This video gives me a bit more confidence to try it at home and hopefully not ruin en entire leg of lamb.
I do a lamb shank that I sous vide with rosemary Carrot and celery then finish with a blow torch it's killer I take the "bag juices" and make a sauce omg it's perfect over rice
Wow!!! Im impressed! thank you for sharing
Even more "next level" than usual
Simpson's-in-the-Strand, London have been making roast beef Dinners using meat covered in Coleman's mustard powder for over a 180 years. There must be something to this technique.
The bag juices are commonly referred to as "The purge."
I like the way he made out like the lamb was hot at the end, when it was quite clearly cold. The gravy poured on was hot however.
love leg of lamb. Cooked this recipe! but i do have to say, i got away with using half your spice proportions and it turned out crazy flavorful :)
so no need for 2lbs of seasoning!
+picitup83 The purpose of that much seasoning(antioxidants) is to slow down the oxidation. So its to make sure it doesn't get gamey. If yours turned out fine that's great.
+picitup83 hey, im pulling my legs of lamb out today, how long did you roast yours for?
+Gregory Butler if you sous vide... 425 degree F for 25 mins. if not sous vide 325 degree F for 2.5 hours
it's important to prop the leg up like they do
Wow, that looks amazing!
Absolutely ducking felicious
thank you for the insight chef! looks amazing.
The best lamb vid
What was the oven temp and how long was it in?
we love ewe too Grant! these videos are great!
I would never do this myself, but I'm glad that you did just so I/we can see the other side of the coin.
How long in the second oven? What temperature?
I did not know about the lamb fat. Luckily i decided to watch this. Damn that looks good. Im going to try the scoring of the skin.
This looks bomb AF. I need to invest in a sous vide thermometer.
Amazing team of creative great masters.....Respekt!!!!
What did you serve the lamb with, i saw potatoes?? huge inspiration from the UK
imma smoke dat lamb, hickory wood chips FTW
smoke dat lamb, yo!
What is better for smoking? Hickory or Apple wood?
Brandon Green . what flavor chips do you like more?
Raymond Calderon idk
@@justinn5047 oak is my favorite with beef
That looks bloody good mate. Yummy
Can it be done in a little less time if boneless?
Sigh, i'm just waiting for Joule to start shipping to Asia.
Me too! I moved to Korea the month they are supposed to start shipping. :(
I'm having family just send it to me via DHL.
But one thing to note: the original joule isn't going to work at the 220V power spec in many countries, you'll need to buy a voltage converter. They are pretty cheap on Amazon, just wanted to let you know so you didn't burn out your new toy on day1.
Also I've tested the Joule Iphone app and it is worth the wait! Seriously it's sooo fantastic, hand it to anyone and turn them into an awesome chef.
thank you. Looks interesting.
Great tips. Thank you
In the oven at what Temp and for how long?
Yum.
This dude is great he needs a cooking show! or is this your cooking show, whats this dudes name?
Grant Crilly, CCO of Chefsteps and heavily involved in the creation of the cookbook "Modernist Cuisine". Dude's a wizard..
such... perfection
Hi ghram, do you hit it with a low and slow oven temp or high and fast?
Holy cow !! if this is stress free - I hate to see stressed ! Informative, never knew lamb fat is unsaturated.
if you did a noose of twine inside of the incision around the shank, could you use the "noose" to remove the meat with one fell swoop?
Hi.I would like to ask how many celsius shoud i put the joule if i want a littlle bit more cooked my lamb?
If i were to do this exact recipe but only use oven, what temp and how long should i go for? Any help is appreciated!!
What can I do if I don't have a slow evaporation machine? Thank you
If one doesn’t have access to a sous vide, how about reverse sear while covering the lamb so it doesn’t dry out?… since there’s not much fat I assume doing a standard “open” reverse sear at 225 or so would dry it out.
Thanks! Just bought a leg and am “wet dry brining” it right now. Aka dry brine with Saran wrap over it so it doesn’t dry out in the fridge the way you want chicken skin or a steak to do.
At last! A stress free video!
4 minutes later...
What pan were you using? Brand name please, haven't seen that before. Food looks great, nice job!
I don’t know about the saucepan but the pan in the end was a Staub.
Enameled Cast Iron Made in France.
Staub and Le Creuset are the best if the best in Enameled Cast Iron Made in France.
@ChefSteps Am in Perth Australia, When are you selling Joule internationally? please
When is jule coming too the uk?
The correct name for the bag juice (yuck) is sous jus. It's always better in French
If oxidation during cooking is an issue, would it be beneficial to vacuum seal the leg? (I know that the water pressure would also create a 'seal', but wouldn't the vacuum be best?)
Will trimming the fat reduce the gamey flavour?
Whats the ratio of mustard powder with salt and pepper? for the Rub?
Will you guys be releasing more lamb dish recipes?
WOW!!
What device is that to cook the lamb? Have never seen that cooking method before
yup I knew it. sous vide
Even if it was Sous Vide, it still looks pretty good...
I got a Sous Vide for Christmas. It really stepped up my cooking came. They are not that expensive. I got the unit from Anova. Only $99 from Amazon.
What temp was water, how many hours, what temp oven?
Look up the Way Raymond blanc does a roast leg
aren't there glands that are supposed to be removed within the leg? also shaving off the hard outer layer of fat is supposed to reduce gamey flavor (and also the tattoo ink)
What plates are you using?
He has the lamb sauce!
Yummy 😋
is there a video of lamb loin or double loin in cap?
Зачётная ножка!! Спасибо
Go make a restaurant!!!! I'll definitely come. :)
I use local lamb grown on the Irish heather hills. All natural and I guess I've done about 100 legs and fore legs. I never thought of it as tasting 'Gamey'. Highly refined more like. Maybe you're thinking of goat! And why Sous Vide? It's a tender meat. I have a Sous Vide gurgling behind me as I type..but I wouldent Sous vide lamb. Do a pork shoulder that way instead or s round of beef.
How would you modify this recipe to slow and low cook in the oven? My wife threw out the sous vide machine
Hi. What do You do with the part You cut off? Do You need to cut it off anyway? Or is the meat more tender there and You just cook it like lamb rump MR but for shorter time?
Beautiful gyuto
Oh no. Surprise! Sous vide!
Do they only Sous vide ?
We get it... you love the product
Does anyone know a better method for a 6.060lbs Boneless Leg of Lamb. I'm planning on making my Irish Stew for St. Paddy's day in my crook pot but decided to try Lamb. Would it be easier to just cook it like a steak and than place the meat in the crook pot?
Loves "Ewe"
Looks delicious but some garlic and rosemary would have been good.
It wouldn’t spoil? 55 degrees for 24 hours?

Edit QuestionClose
Q:
The Joule App has an error for this recipe. Grant cooks this at 131 F on this RUclips video. The app has 140 F as the 'Our Fav' temp. I didn't realize the error until it was too late. 140 F. for 24 hours made the lamb too grey and somewhat mealy. I doubt that the team really likes the lamb at 140 F .
What can u do with the cut off part of the leg
Those potatoes also at 5:08 !!! Where is that recipe ???
