The lamb equivalent to fillet steak, lamb cannon is a premium, boneless cut. It is made from half of the loin side of lamb, which we trim and roll. This creates a lean, flavoursome cut that is easy to roast and slice.

The best way to cook lamb cannon is to seal it all over in a hot skillet. One browned and lightly caramelised, put the skillet in the oven and roast to your liking. Baste with herbs and butter, check seasoning and allow to rest. Serve with a rich gravy, wilted spinach and roast potatoes for a show-stopping meal.

Even the best meat still requires expert preparation, so we work with master butchers who ensure our lamb cannon is immaculate. All our cuts are skilfully prepared by hand in time-honoured, traditional fashion. We never compromise on our standards, which is central to maintaining the quality you have come to expect. When choosing a cut of lamb, look for firm, fine-grained meat with a velvety texture; it should be moist, rather than dry or slimy.

The Black Farmer have been working with the best local suppliers since our inception. We source highest-quality lamb from the South West of England, which is fed on grass and free to graze the lush fields that abound in the area. By working with local produce and farmers, we promote and encourage a sustainable and ethical approach to meat eating, which reduces animal stress and lowers food miles as much as possible.

Lamb cannon is vacuum-packed, which keeps it fresh for longer and makes it suitable for home freezing. Make sure that you defrost the meat slowly and thoroughly before cooking. The easiest way is simply to leave in the fridge overnight.

Cooking Instructions

Lamb Cannon Cooking Instructions

Grill Method:

Preparation: Remove the lamb cannon from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This ensures even cooking and tenderness.
Seasoning: Rub the lamb cannon with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. A simple seasoning will allow the natural flavours to shine.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or pan to medium-high heat. Achieving a perfect sear is key to a beautifully cooked lamb cannon.
Cooking: Grill the lamb cannon for 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. The lamb should be tender and juicy, with an internal temperature of 52-54°C.
Resting: Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes under foil to retain its juices and enhance the flavour.
Serve: Serve the lamb cannon with mint-infused mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans for a refined and gourmet meal.

Oven Method:

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6. Allow the lamb cannon to reach room temperature before cooking.
Seasoning: Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper to prepare for searing.
Searing: Sear the lamb cannon in an ovenproof pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Oven Cooking: Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare. The lamb should be tender and juicy.
Resting: Rest the lamb for 5 minutes under foil.
Serving: Pair with mint-infused mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans for a sophisticated dish.
