Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Leg of Lamb.
Step 1
Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Sear the leg of lamb until it achieves a rich, golden-brown crust on all sides, which should take about five minutes per side.
Step 3
Once beautifully browned, transfer the lamb to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, toss in sliced onions and sauté them until they turn a lovely golden hue, roughly five minutes.
Step 5
Once done, move the sautéed onions to your slow cooker and nestle the lamb on top.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, combine water, soy sauce, minced garlic, and dry onion soup mix, then pour this flavorful blend over the lamb in the slow cooker.
Step 7
Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on the Low setting for eight to ten hours, allowing the lamb to become irresistibly tender.
Step 8
After the cooking time, carefully remove the lamb from the slow cooker and loosely cover it with foil, letting it rest for about twenty minutes before carving.
Step 9
While the lamb relaxes, whip up a delicious gravy.
Step 10
In a small bowl, blend butter and flour to create a smooth paste.
Step 11
Gradually introduce small pieces of this paste into the hot cooking liquid in the slow cooker, stirring continuously until well combined.
Step 12
Allow the sauce to simmer for five to six minutes, or until it reaches your preferred thickness.
Step 13
Finally, slice the lamb thinly and serve it drizzled with the rich gravy, creating a dish that’s sure to impress.
Step 14
Enjoy the tender, flavorful lamb that’s perfect for any gathering or special occasion.
