Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cast Iron Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb Rack of lamb At least two chops per person
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Trim any excess fat from the rack of lamb, leaving about ¼ inch of the fat cap.
  • Season all sides of the lamb with salt and black pepper.
  • Mix garlic, rosemary, parsley, and chives in a small bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb fat side down for 3-4 minutes until browned, then flip it over.
  • Brush Dijon mustard over the browned side and press the herb mixture on top.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare (20-22 minutes) or 135-140°F for medium (25-28 minutes) and 145-150°F(30-35 minutes) for medium-well.
  • Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5-8 minutes.
  • Slice between the ribs and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. Enjoy!
