A whole grass fed leg of lamb is the perfect cut to Wow your guests and satisfy their craving for a tender, incredibly delicious, protein-packed celebratory meal.
Protein-packed and nutrient-dense, 100% grass fed lamb is a perfect ingredient for your healthy lifestyle. Lamb is incredibly delicious red meat packed with protein, iron, zinc, B6, B12, and selenium.
In addition to the nutritional benefits of lamb, you can rest assured that our lamb comes from local farmers who farm the same way we do. You don't need to worry about exposure to agricultural chemicals, routine antibiotics, steroids, or inhumane, CAFO-like conditions. Lambs are moved to fresh pastures everyday and allowed to graze on pristine pastures like nature intended.
A whole leg of lamb will take some time to prepare in your oven, smoker or on the grill. Here's a quick temperature guide to ensure the very best result.
Keep in mind, the meat will rest for a bit after you take it out of the oven, and its internal temperature will continue to rise as it rests. Here at the farm we like leg of lamb best when cooked to perfectly pink on the inside (internal temp somewhere around 130°F) or when cooked until falling apart tender (internal temp somewhere around 175°F). Use this guide when you prepare a leg of lamb:
- Rare: About 15 minutes per pound or until internal temperature registers 125 degrees F.
- Medium-Rare: About 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature registers 130°F to 135°F. About 1 1/2 to 2 hours or so.
- Medium: About 25 minutes per pound or until internal temperature registers 135°F to 140°F.
- Well-Done: About 30 minutes per pound or until internal temperature registers 155°F to 165°F.
- Falling-Apart Tender Lamb: About 40 minutes per pound or until the internal temp registers 175°F.
Roast leg of lamb is excellent served with mashed Yukon Gold potatoes or with long grain Basmati rice. Lower carb accompaniments? Of course, veg of any kind. Or, oven roasted chunks of butternut squash or carrots roasted in butter salt, pepper and just a hint of cinnamon.
