Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup beef broth dry red
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper black
  • tablespoons rosemary fresh chopped
  •  garlic cloves 
  • pound semi-boneless leg of lamb fat trimmed
  • tablespoon sea salt fine

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven
  • knife
  • roasting pan
  • kitchen thermometer
  • mortar and pestle
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. Pat lamb dry and score fat by making shallow cuts all over with tip of a sharp small knife.
  2. Pound garlic to a paste with sea salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a heavy knife) and stir together with rosemary and pepper. Put lamb in a lightly oiled roasting pan, then rub paste all over lamb.
  3. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  5. Roast lamb in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into thickest part of meat (do not touch bone) registers 130°F, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours.
  6. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 15 to 25 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 140°F for medium-rare).
  7. Add wine to pan and deglaze by boiling over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Season pan juices with salt and pepper and serve with lamb.
