Overnight Lamb Marinade Recipes

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, rosemary, ground black pepper, lemon zest and garlic. Mix well and apply to the lamb. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place lamb on a rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and roast for 55 to 60 more minutes for medium rare. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

HERB-MARINATED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Clean the rib bones well by scraping off meat and sinew with a small sharp knife. Cut the racks in 1/2 so that each has four ribs. Mix together the olive oil, crushed garlic, crushed rosemary and thyme sprigs in a large bowl. Add the lamb and coat well. Grind some coarse black pepper over all. Wrap well and marinate the racks overnight.
• The next day remove the lamb from the marinade and scrape off as many herbs as possible. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the lamb well with salt; no additional pepper should be necessary, and sear fat side down until golden, about 7 minutes. Turn over so that the fat side is up and roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Let the rack rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
• To serve, cut each lamb rack into 4 equal pieces, 2 bones per chop and serve on individual plates or a platter with the accompaniments of your choice.

OVERNIGHT LAMB MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all incredients together.
• Place marinade & Leg of Lamb Roast in 1 Gallon size freezer bag. Try to get as much air out of bag as possible. Place in refrigerator in shallow pan, in case of leak. Turn every time you think of it.
• I put this together in an afternoon and allow the roast to marinate overnight & part of the next day.
• I cook it per the High Altitude Lamb recipe #600948. Since I have most of the ingredients in the marinade, the only thing I do prior to cooking is make slits in the roast and insert slivers of garlic.
• I use a stone roaster.
• Cooking time listed here is the marinating time.

DELICIOUS SIMPLE MARINADE FOR ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients. Taste and make adjustments to seasoning according to taste.
• Using a sharp knife, make several small slits into the leg of lamb to allow marinade to penetrate. Thoroughly baste the leg of lamb in the marinade.
• Place the lamb, along with the marinade, in a dish big enough to hold the meat. Pour the remaining marinade over it, and place in the refrigerator.
• Allow to marinate overnight, turning once. Baste meat once more before putting into the oven to roast.
• Enjoy!
