Herbed Rack of Lamb

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and adjust the oven rack to the center position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, combine butter, 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme and ¼ each teaspoon salt and pepper
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Brush the racks of lamb with mustard and coat the lamb with the butter herb mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
6. 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.
7. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting between the bones to separate.
