Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 ½ tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt divided
- 1 ¼ teaspoons black pepper divided
- 2 racks lamb 1 ½ to 2lbs each, frenched*
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and adjust the oven rack to the center position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme and ¼ each teaspoon salt and pepper
- Trim the fat on the lamb to a very thin layer and pat the racks of lamb dry with a paper towel. Season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 ½ tablespoons oil medium-high heat until smoking. Add one rack of lamb and brown for 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining lamb and let the racks cool for 5 minutes.
- Brush the racks of lamb with mustard and coat the lamb with the butter herb mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
- Place the lamb, fat side up, on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 14 to 18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting between the bones to separate.
Notes
- *Remove the lamb from the fridge 30 minutes before preparing
- Store leftovers in a container with a tight-fitting lid in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat under the broiler just until heated through.
