Never water bathed a leg of lamb so here I go with a 5.5 pounder. Scored and seasoned with SPG and Colman’s dry mustard. Into the bag and into the 135F water bath. I will sear on the kettle for the finish. Post that up later.
OK, you talked me into it... Can't wait...Thanks guys, hang in there another four hours or so.
Thank you Doug.Looks awesome even if it requires some adjustment in the future! I'd say it's a hit out of the park for a first attempt, and extra points for the home made tortillas.
Thank you.Very interesting, not sure why but I thought lamb leg.would be a little more time, not much fat. Total meal looks delicious.
Appreciate it Charles.I don't have a SV so I'm not much help there, but I'm glad I stuck around, it looks great...
Thanks a bunch.Man that looks good! That flame sear really put it over the top. Love some lamb. Nice work.
Much appreciated Jake.Nice work on that lamb bud. That plate shot made my mouth water
I have SV on my wish list for fathers day. Maybe my stinking kids will listen. I've been perusing the SV threads for ideas. If I dont get one i'm disowning the whole lot. LOL!
And that lamb looks great. Never had any but I may have to add it to the "gotta try" list.

Finished shot looks great from here.
Point for sure

Thank you Robert, I have hand fed, hand raised, hand sheared and hand butchered, and cooked more lamb than I could speak to. Never have I ever sous vide any before. I’ll say this after this adventure, I would keep the water bath time at 135F to between 4 and 6 hours then hot fast sear. The 8 hours this time produces mushy meat on some of the muscles and perfect meat on others in the leg. Was still over all delicious, won’t throw any of it out.Beautiful looking chunk of meat. The roast looks to be perfect but of course we can't taste it or get an idea of the texture but very much appreciate the insight. It's good info for folks to have.

Thank you Ray, my favorite is still roasted over coals, but this was delicious, more tender, maybe too tender, but that’s never a bad thing.That's a interesting concept and appears to have turned out evenly cooked and perfectly done, nice work! I love the little 4lb lamb roasts from Sam's Club, smoke them on the Weber and sous vide the leftovers. RAY
Thank you Jed. This was delicious for sure. Flame and meat were made for one another.Looks delicious! Finishing on the flame definitely puts over the top! Great work!
