Dragan's Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Beer

Servings:

This lamb in beer is a really easy and great-tasting recipe that I got from my Guatemalan friend. Served with some crusty bread and a salad, it makes a delicious meal for company and festive occasions.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and carrots; cook in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. 3 Rinse leg of lamb, pat dry, and place in a roasting pan. Season generously with salt and pepper; rub into meat. Use a small knife to make incisions big enough for a garlic clove to fit all over lamb. Stuff garlic cloves into the holes. Spoon mustard over lamb; rub into meat.
  4. 4 Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add potatoes and carrots to the roasting pan. Baste lamb with beer, reserving the rest for basting at 20-minute intervals.
  5. 5 Continue to roast lamb until the internal temperature reaches at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium rare, about 1 hour 30 minutes more.
  6. 6 Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving. Spoon pan drippings over meat and vegetables to serve.
