Instructions
6 steps
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to meld.Marinate the Lamb
Rub the marinade all over the rack of lamb and let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
The longer you marinate, the more flavor the lamb will absorb.Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.Sear the Lamb
In a hot skillet, sear the lamb on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
This step adds flavor and creates a nice crust.Roast the Lamb
Place the lamb in a roasting pan, add vegetable broth and red wine, and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (135°F for medium-rare).Glaze and Rest
If using, brush honey on the lamb during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows juices to redistribute.
