BUTTERFLIED LAMB LEG FOR COOKING CONVENIENCE

A leg of lamb is one of Australia's favourite meats. Packed full of flavour, this cut has inspired generations of Aussies to roll up their sleeves, get into the kitchen, and start cooking. While a conventional leg of lamb is perfect for slow cooking and roasts, other methods of cooking require butterflying to speed up the process.

You won't have to waste time deboning, cutting and marinating the butterflied lamb leg. Here at Peter Bouchier, we've done all that preparation for you. It makes it easier to focus on the important things, like getting that beautiful butterflied lamb leg in the oven and promptly into your mouth.

There's a selection of absolutely delicious different marinades and flavour profiles for you to choose from when selecting your butterfly lamb leg.

  • Lamb leg butterflied with Asian marinade: This is a very simple marinade with a base of garlic and soy. It's all about delivering profoundly rich and impactful flavours to the lamb.
  • Lamb leg butterflied, Mediterranean style: Lemon, garlic, cracked pepper, olive oil and paprika all come together to give this marinade real punch and vibrancy.

Frequently asked questions

How do you butterfly a leg of lamb?

There are two terrific methods for butterflying a leg of lamb:

  • Put the leg on a chopping board with the meatier side down. Find the bone with your fingers.
  • Cut along the length of the leg vertically to the bone. Then cut around the bone.
  • As closely as possible, scrape the meat away from the bone.
  • After you've worked your knife around the bone, lift it out.
  • Cut through the thickest parts of the lamb to open it out and create an even thickness.
  • Remove unwanted sinew and fat.
  • Marinate your lamb however you want.

Or, if this sounds like too much work, come to Peter Bouchier, and we’ll have a butterflied lamb leg butcher prepare it for you.

Why does your butterflied leg of lamb taste so good?

Our customers are the best, and we’re often praised for our butterflied lamb's superior quality and taste. There are a few reasons why our butterflied lamb leg is so delicious. For one, we only work with the best local suppliers of lamb. Additionally, our butchers of distinction do an incredible job preparing and butterflying the leg. As it's completely boneless, it's easy to cook to perfection. And we haven't skimped on the glorious marinades, either!

What pairs well with butterflied leg of lamb?

Whether you're grilling or roasting the butterflied leg of lamb, many delicious side dishes will pair beautifully. Serve your butterflied lamb with:

  • Honey roasted carrots 
  • Roasted Mediterranean vegetables
  • Roast potatoes with rosemary or chips
  • Apple and cauliflower salad

You can discover a world of flavourful recipe ideas for lamb at Peter Bouchier. We’ve packed mouth-watering recipes and cooking tips for you on our website.

HOW DO I COOK A BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB?

First, you need to marinate the lamb. This is important because it helps to tenderise the meat and also infuse it with flavour. You can marinate lamb in many different ways, but one simple method is to combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice in a zip-top bag. Add lamb, then toss in the bag so the meat is well coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.

When you're ready to cook the lamb, preheat your oven to 200C. Then, remove the lamb from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil. Once hot, add the lamb leg to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until evenly browned.

Transfer the lamb to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 63C. For medium rare, aim for 55C.  Resting the meat is utterly crucial, and your patience will pay dividends. Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before you begin to slice and serve. 

Note: We suggest using a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked meat. Check the thickest parts are done to your liking. 

No matter how you cook your lamb leg, the most important thing is to let it rest for at least 5 minutes before carving or serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier and more flavorful finished product.
