Cook Type: Oven
2 racks of lamb, frenched (approximately 1.5 pounds each)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Rosemary Garlic Sauce:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 cup beef or lamb broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a herb crust mixture.
Step 3: Rub the herb crust mixture all over the racks of lamb, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4: Place the racks of lamb on a baking sheet, bone-side down, and roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Step 5: While the lamb is roasting, prepare the Rosemary Garlic Sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6: Pour in the beef or lamb broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7: Remove the racks of lamb from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 8: Slice the racks into individual chops and serve with the Rosemary Garlic Sauce drizzled over the top.
Step 9: Pair the succulent Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with Rosemary Garlic Sauce with your favourite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables.
