Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 500 grams (1 lb) lamb rump
  • 1 tablespoon corn oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius / 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Heat the oil in a frying over medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot and shimmering, put the piece of lamb rump fat side down and gently fry it until the fat is browned and crispy. 
  • Now sear and seal the other surfaces of the lamb by turning it over onto its sides and ends using tongs to quickly brown off the meat. 
  • Place the lamb onto a lined baking tray and put it in the oven to roast for 15-20 minutes until a meat thermometer measures the middle of the lamb rump to be 55 degrees Celsium / 130 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • Meanwhile, make your compound rosemary butter. Place the butter into a Tupperware container (one that you definitely have a well fitting lid for) and add the salt, pepper and finely chopped rosemary. Mash together with a fork.
  • Take the lamb out of the oven and put it straight into the Tupperware with the compound herb butter, swishing it around a bit so the butter melts and coats the lamb. Put the lid on, and leave it to rest for 8-10 minutes. 
  • Carve the lamb rump roast and serve with the butter and juices drizzled over the top
