  • 1 tablespoon thyme dry
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  1. In a bowl, mix the thyme, parsley, onion granules, garlic granules, salt, and pepper until combined and set aside. Note that there will be some herb crumbs left over after placing them on the lamb.
  2. Season the lamb rack with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the oil to a hot skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke, and then sear the lamb rack on all sides until golden brown, which takes about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Once the lamb rack is perfectly seared, keep it in the pan with the fat cap side up.
  5. Next, spread the dijon mustard evenly and generously sprinkle the herb crumbs on top.
  6. Place pan in the oven at 350° for 6-10 minutes for a perfect medium-rare.
  7. Slice rack, serve hot, and enjoy.
