How Long Should You Cook Lamb For?
The cooking time for lamb depends on the cut of meat and desired level of doneness. For example, a bone-in leg of lamb should be cooked for about 15 minutes per pound for rare, 20 minutes per pound for medium, and 25 minutes per pound for well-done. A boneless leg of lamb will take slightly less time to cook, at about 10-12 minutes per pound for rare, 15-17 minutes per pound for medium, and 20-22 minutes per pound for well-done. It’s important to use a meat thermometer to check for the desired internal temperature, which should be 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
