Roasted Cannon of Lamb with Herb Crust
Ingredients:
- 1 cannon of lamb
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 tablespoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 tablespoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for basting)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the Lamb:
- Pat the lamb cannon dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This helps achieve a better sear.
- Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
-
Sear the Lamb:
- Heat a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Sear the cannon of lamb for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and crusty. Make sure you sear all sides, including the ends, to lock in the juices.
-
Prepare the Herb Crust:
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice (if using).
- Once seared, remove the lamb from the skillet and brush the herb-mustard mixture all over the meat.
-
Roast the Lamb:
- Transfer the skillet with the lamb to the preheated oven. Roast the cannon of lamb for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
- For medium doneness, roast for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
-
Baste with Butter:
- About halfway through roasting, baste the lamb with 1 tablespoon of melted butter for added richness.
-
Rest the Lamb:
- Once the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to be redistributed, keeping the meat tender and juicy.
-
Slice and Serve:
- After resting, slice the cannon of lamb into medallions. Serve with your favourite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
