Air Fryer Boneless Lamb Shoulder Joint Recipe

Step 1

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.

Step 2

Thoroughly dry a 750g Boneless Shoulder of Lamb .

Step 3

Drizzle the lamb with roughly 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil and 2 tsp Sea Salt Flakes. Rub into the lamb so it is evenly distributed all the way round and not forgetting the ends.

Step 4

Place the lamb into the air fryer basket. If it is a preheated basket, use 2 forks or tongs to lower the meat in so you don't touch the hot metal with your hands.

Step 5

Air fry for 20 minutes at 190℃/375℉.

Step 6

Turn the lamb over fully.

Step 7

Air fry for a further 15 minutes at 190℃/375℉ for medium. Add 5 minutes for medium-well and a further 5 for well done.

Step 8

Take the lamb out the air fryer and wrap well in foil.

Step 9

Remove the plate and tip the rest of the juices into a small saucepan. Use a silicone spatula to make sure you get all the goodness. Scrape any tasty bits off the crisper plate too.

Step 10

Allow the lamb to rest for at least 10, but ideally 15 minutes. Use this time to make the gravy.

Step 11

Don't forget to add any juices from the resting period to the gravy.

Step 12

Remove the string then carve into thick or thin slices as preferred and serve.

Step 13

If there is a lot of lamb fat vs juices, remove some of the fat and discard or save this for another time.

Step 14

Tip all of the drained lamb juices and some fat into small saucepan and start heating over a high heat.

Step 15

Add 300ml Water to the pan. Freshly boiled from the kettle will speed up the process.

Step 16

Mix 3 tbsp Cornflour with roughly 3 tbsp Water until all the cornflour has dissolved.

Step 17

Once the juices and water have come to the boil, add the cornflour slurry with one hand while whisking with the other.

Step 18

Continue to boil until the gravy is thickened. If after a few minutes, it is not thick enough for your liking, make up and add more cornflour slurry - add a little at a time. If it is thicker than you would like, add a little water at a time.

Step 19

Taste the gravy and add Sea Salt Flakes a little at a time until the gravy is flavoursome. Don't be shy, salt is your friend with gravy.

Step 20

Serve with the sliced lamb.
