Ingredients
- 1 5 to 6-pound boneless leg of lamb
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 rosemary sprigs
- 2 cups dry red wine, divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions
|
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Unroll roast; trim any excess fat.
- Spread minced rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and garlic into folds of the roast. Reroll roast; secure at 3-inch intervals with heavy string. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil. Secure rosemary sprigs under strings on roast.
- Place roast on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan; insert meat thermometer into thickest portion of roast. Bake at 400 for 1 hour.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees(do not remove roast from oven). Bake an additional 20 minutes or until thermometer registers 125 (medium-rare) to 150 (medium).
- Place roast on a platter; cover with foil. Let stand 10 minutes for roast to reabsorb juices. (Temperature of roast will increase 5 upon standing.) Remove string and rosemary sprigs before slicing.

- Add 1/2 cup wine to drippings in pan; scrape pan to loosen browned bits. Combine drippings mixture and 1 cup wine in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes.
