Ingredients

  • 5 pound Aussie Boneless Leg of Lamb Roast

Smoked Paprika Rub

  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary dried
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Roasted Carrots

  • 1 bunch rainbow carrots
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the grill to 350-375F degrees with an indirect heat zone.
  • Trim the fat, so that it is no thicker than 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
  • Combine the rub ingredients. Rub all over the meat.
  • Place the lamb on the grill over indirect heat. Smoke for about 2 hours.
  • Toss the carrots in olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • After around 1 1/2 hours, the internal temperature of the lamb should reach 80-90F degrees. At this point, add the carrots to the grill.
  • Continue cooking the roast until it reaches around 135F degrees. Remove the roast from the grill and cover with foil. Rest for 15-30 minutes.
  • When the carrots are soft, remove them from the grill. Serve with the lamb.
