Kentucky-Style Braised Lamb
8 servings
4 hours, 30 minutes total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 1 bone-in leg of lamb (about 5 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons  Kentucky-Style Seasoning, divided
  • ½ cup dark beer
  • ½ cup no-salt-added beef stock (or broth)
  • ½ cup   Kentucky-Style Dark Barbecue Sauce (+ more, optional for serving)
  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • 1 small red onion (optional for serving)
  • Dill pickles (optional for serving)

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Rub lamb with oil and 1 tablespoon seasoning (wash hands). Place in roasting pan and bake 25–30 minutes, flipping meat halfway through cook time, until browned. Remove pan from oven.
    2. Reduce oven to 325°F. Remove drippings from pan. Pour beer, stock, and barbecue sauce into pan, cover tightly with foil, and bake 3–3 ½ hours until lamb is 210°F.
    3. Slice onion thinly, if using. Remove lamb from roasting pan and let stand 15 minutes before shredding. Skim fat from braising liquid and return lamb to pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon seasoning; toss to coat. Serve lamb with braising liquid topped with pickles, onions, and additional barbecue sauce, if using.
