Katherine is always after lamb but now it is so much easier to prepare. We’re going to hit it with some big flavors on the outside like Dijon, garlic, rosemary, and 100 twist of black pepper. Rub it, roll it, and tie it. Then we cook it sous vide until it hits 129°F (54°C) in the Anova Precision Oven. Then we cranked the heat to 475°F (246°C) to get that crust. The results are perfectly pink from edge to edge. If you prefer a more well-done roast, set the probe temperature to 135°F (57°C) for medium.
