Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 servings

Ingredients

4 pounds boneless leg of lamb
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons Herb Salt
Anchovy Mayonnaise

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cutting along seams where lamb leg naturally separates, portion into 4 large pieces, trimming any excess fat and sinew.

    Step 2

    Rub lamb with oil and Herb Salt. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.

    Step 3

    Prepare a grill for high heat. Grill lamb, turning often, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer registers 130°, 20–30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain and serve with Anchovy Mayonnaise.

    Step 4

    Do ahead: Lamb can be seasoned 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
