Roasted Rack of Lamb with Dijon Mustard and Fresh Herbs

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pound frenched rack of lamb
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400° 
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet season lamb with salt & pepper.
  • Rub the Dijon mustard evenly over lamb mostly on the fat side. 
  • Mix all herbs together in a small bowl and gently pat them into the mustard on the fat side of the lamb. 
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan or griddle over medium-high heat. 
  • Sear the rack of lamb, fat side down. 
  • Turn the heat up just a touch right after you place the meat on. The heat will drop when the meat is placed on and to get a good sear it must remain hot. 
  • Cook meat for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Flip lamb over to sear the other side for 1-2 minutes or until browned. 
  • Place meat in the oven fat side up and add rosemary springs on top. 
  • Roast for 15-20 minutes or until meat reaches 140° when temped. 
  • Let meat sit for 5 minutes before cutting. 
  • Slice meat in between the bones into what I like to call 'lamb lollipops'
