Delicious Rack Of Lamb Recipe - Perfect for Special Occasions

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 rack lamb (French trimmed for presentation)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for marinating)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon thyme (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.

    Let the marinade sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to develop.
  2. Marinate the Lamb

    Rub the marinade thoroughly over the rack of lamb and let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

    For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  4. Sear the Lamb

    In a hot skillet, sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

    Use tongs to turn the meat to avoid piercing and losing juices.
  5. Roast the Lamb

    Transfer the lamb to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
