Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 1.5 to 2 lbs) rack of lamb
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat from the rack of lamb. Pat the meat dry with paper towels.
Season the lamb generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rack of lamb for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and lemon juice to create the glaze.
Brush the glaze evenly over the rack of lamb, reserving a little for basting later.
Place the skillet with the lamb in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Halfway through the cooking time, brush the lamb with the remaining glaze to deepen the flavor and create a caramelized coating.
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Carve the rack of lamb into individual chops and serve warm. Enjoy your honey glazed masterpiece!
