Agnus Dei

It means lamb of god, which is exactly what I made for dinner today. I bought a nice lamb roast for easter but since my parents also had one I decided to wait with mine. Well I made it today and it was godly to say the least. I practice something called low temperature cooking. which means the themperature of the oven needs to be as close as possible to the needed core temperature of the meat. It takes long, but in turn it gives a very tender and succulent meat. It's all about science.

To make a godly lamb roast you need:
oven
lamb steak
garlic
thyme or mix of provencal spices
salt and pepper
meat thermometer

the oven must be set at about 100 C, preferably not higher than 125 C, 90 C would be ideal. spice up the meat! I prefer making small holes with a knife into the meat and put some garlic inside, and some spices outside. Stick the thermometer into the middle of the thickest part of the meat and shove it into the oven. When the core temperature reaches 55 C it's rare (red) when its 60 C it's medium (pink), 65-70 it's well done. I prefer to take it out somewhere inbetween 55 and 60. depending on the size of the meat the cooking time will vary. but count atleast 3-4 hours for a 1kg steak. Take the meat out at preferred temperature, wrap it in tin foil (optional) and let it rest for 15 minutes before cutting it. Enjoy!
