👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 325°F

AI Wisdom: Allow the lamb to come to room temperature while the oven preheats.
2

In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: This will be the seasoning rub for the lamb.
3

Rub the garlic-rosemary mixture all over the lamb, ensuring it gets into the scored areas.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Allow the lamb to marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to penetrate.
4

Heat a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

⏱️ 15 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Searing adds flavor and helps develop a beautiful crust.
5

Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: This adds richness to the sauce.
6

Add the broth to the pan. Cover the pan with foil and transfer to the preheated oven.

⏱️ 3 min (ish) 🌡️ 325°F

AI Wisdom: Braise the lamb for 2.5-3 hours, or until fork-tender, basting every 30 minutes with butter.
7

Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest, tented with foil, for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

⏱️ 20 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist roast.
8

Slice the lamb and serve with the pan juices as a sauce.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Enjoy your gourmet lamb roast!
