Preparation Steps
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe rack inside. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Trim any excess fat from the boneless leg of lamb.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
- Spread one-third of the herb paste inside the opened lamb, roll it up tightly, and secure with kitchen twine. Rub the remaining herb paste all over the outside of the lamb.
- Place the lamb in the preheated oven and roast at 425°F (218°C) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15-30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness. Allowing the lamb to rest after cooking ensures juicy slices.
