Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 (4 pound) leg of lamb
-
1 large sweet onion, sliced
-
5 cups water
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and cook until outside is browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
-
Add onion to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
-
Transfer onion to a slow cooker and place lamb on top. Mix water, soy sauce, garlic, and onion soup mix together and pour over lamb. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
-
Remove roast, cover lightly with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
-
While the roast is sitting, mix butter and flour into a paste. Add small pieces of this paste to the hot cooking liquid and mix until incorporated. Cook until sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Slice roast thinly and serve with gravy.
Cook’s Note
Depending on how thick you like your gravy, you may need to make more of the flour and butter mixture.
I dice the leftover lamb, mix it with the leftover gravy and frozen mixed vegetables (cooked in the microwave), and top with leftover mashed potatoes to make a wonderful shepherd's pie.
