🥘Ingredients

For the Roast

3-4 pound boneless lamb shoulder roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary

For the Gravy

1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

👨‍🍳Directions

1Pat the lamb roast dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the meat.
2In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the entire roast, pressing it in gently.
3Place the seasoned lamb roast in the slow cooker. Pour the beef broth around the roast, not over it, to keep the seasoning on top.
4Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the lamb is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
5Carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
6To make the gravy, pour the juices from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth. Bring the juices to a simmer over medium heat, then whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the gravy thickens. Serve the gravy over the lamb.
