Nothing says comfort food quite like a roast and in this recipe, you don’t even need to turn on the oven. This Instant Pot Lamb Shoulder Roast recipe is easy to make and ready in no time. Lamb shoulder is a flavorful cut that is cooked in the pressure cooker with a few simple ingredients. This is a delicious main dish that is perfect for a midweek meal or special occasion.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 lb lamb shoulder, bone-in and cut into 2-3 inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken stock or broth

Instructions:

1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the cubed lamb shoulder and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pieces are lightly browned.

2. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.

3. Add the tomato paste, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

4. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.

5. When the cooking time is up, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure.

6. Remove the lid and use a slotted spoon to transfer the lamb shoulder to a serving platter. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and your favorite vegetables.

Equipment:

  • Instant pot
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • Wooden spoon
  • Slotted spoon

Notes:

Lamb shoulder can be quite fatty so be sure to skim off any excess fat before serving. If you’re looking for a leaner cut, you can substitute lamb leg or loin. If you’re using a leaner cut, you may need to reduce the cooking time in the Instant Pot.

Recipe Tips:

If you’re looking to add some extra flavor to the lamb shoulder, try adding a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, a few bay leaves, or a few cloves of garlic to the cooking liquid. You can also add a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar or red wine to the liquid for an extra depth of flavor.

If you’d like to make this recipe even heartier, you can add some diced potatoes or carrots to the Instant Pot before you cook the lamb. These will cook at the same time as the lamb and make for a delicious side dish.
