Place the leg of lamb on its side on a cutting board. Starting on the outside, cut thin slices parallel to the bone until you reach the bone. Transfer the slices to a platter.

Step Two

Turn the leg onto the cut side so that it sits level. Begin slicing the meat perpendicular to the bone. You won't hit the bone for the first few slices.

Step Four

To separate the meat slices from the bone, make a long horizontal slice along the top of it. Transfer the slices to the platter. Don't waste the flavorful meat left on the bone. Pick it off with your fingers or a fork and save it for sandwiches or stews.
