How to Cook One-Pot Lemon Dill Lamb

Grab your favorite large oven-safe pot or a sturdy skillet; a Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet is ideal for browning and holding heat during simmering. Sear the lamb, then toss in garlic, onion, and your chopped veggies. Deglaze with broth and a generous squeeze of lemon juice, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits.

Once simmering, nestle back the lamb, stir in fresh dill, and let the dish cook until everything is tender and married in flavor. You can check doneness or tenderness with a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking to ensure juicy perfection.

Serve the lamb straight from the pot, garnished with extra dill and lemon slices for eye-catching vibrance. If you have leftovers or wish to pack some for meal prep, a Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) will keep portions fresh and portable.

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet or similar over medium-high. Brown lamb cubes in batches for 4–5 minutes, turning for even color. Transfer browned lamb to a plate.
2. Lower heat to medium. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery—use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick, even pieces. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Return lamb to the skillet. Pour in broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
4. Stir in most of the dill (reserve some for garnish), salt, pepper, and oregano (if using). Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45–60 minutes or until the lamb is tender.
5. Check doneness with a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking; lamb should read at least 145°F for medium-rare.
6. Uncover and continue simmering for an extra 10–15 minutes to thicken the sauce if desired. Adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Garnish with reserved fresh dill and additional lemon slices as desired. For easy storage, portion leftovers into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup).
