Easy Boneless Honey Marinated Butterflied Leg Of Lamb Recipes

EASY BONELESS HONEY MARINATED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• In a large heavy plastic ziploc bag combine the honey vegetable oil, lemon juice, Dijon, onion, garlic, fresh rosemary, salt and black pepper (I use about 1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper).
• Add in the lamb and turn to coat in the marinade.
• Seal the bag tightly and place in a large bowl; refrigerate for 24 hours turning the bag occasionally to coat evenly in the marinade.
• When ready to cook, remove the lamb from the plastic bag and discard marinade.
• Let the lamb sit out a room temperature for 1 hour and 15 minutes before cooking or grilling.
• Set oven to 425 degrees.
• Pat the lamb dry with paper towel.
• Heat oil in a large frypan, then sear lamb on both sides for 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the lamb to a large greased baking sheet.
• Cook the lamb for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare.
• Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
• DELICIOUS!

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB (MARINADE)

Steps:

• Prepare marinade in a small bowl by whisking together the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until slightly thickened. Stir in the lemon zest, garlic and rosemary. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Place lamb in a large bowl or shallow baking dish. Add the marinade and coat the meat well. Refrigerate overnight, covered, turning the lamb once or twice in the marinade.
• Remove meat from the marinade 30 minutes before grilling.
• Oil the grill and prepare the coals.
• Drain the marinade from the lamb and reserve. Grill the meat 4" above the coals, about 20 minutes per side for medium-rare meat, basting frequently with reserved marinade. (Check the lamb for doneness after 30 minutes of grilling).
• To serve, cut the lamb into thin slices and arrange on a decorative platter garnished with the lemon quarters and the sprigs of rosemary.
