# Instructions:
01 -
Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs lamb tenderloin and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This initial seasoning is crucial for a flavorful Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin Recipe. Dice 1 medium yellow onion and 2 medium carrots. Mince 4 cloves garlic.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups beef broth, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. This forms the savory base for your Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin Recipe.
03 -
Place the seasoned 1 1/2 lbs lamb tenderloin in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger crockpot. Scatter the diced 1 medium yellow onion, 2 medium carrots, 4 cloves garlic, and 1 lb baby potatoes around the lamb.
04 -
Sprinkle 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano over the ingredients. Pour the prepared savory simmering base over everything. Add 1 bay leaf.
05 -
Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 5 hours (300 minutes). The low and slow cooking method is key to achieving a tender and juicy result for this Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin Recipe.
06 -
Carefully remove the lamb tenderloin and bay leaf from the crockpot. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the crockpot.
07 -
Cover and cook the sauce on HIGH for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency. Slice the lamb tenderloin against the grain and serve immediately with the vegetables and rich sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
For an even richer flavor, quickly sear the lamb tenderloin in a hot pan with a little oil before adding it to the crockpot. This creates a delicious crust.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
03 -
If lamb tenderloin is unavailable, you can substitute with lamb shoulder or leg, but adjust cooking time as needed for larger cuts.
04 -
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or a light green salad for freshness.
