Transform your dinner table into a gourmet experience with this Mustard Coated Lamb Loin recipe. Perfectly tender lamb loin is enrobed in a zesty Dijon mustard and herb mixture, then crowned with a golden panko and Parmesan crust for an irresistible crunch. A quick sear locks in the flavors before the lamb is oven-roasted to juicy perfection. Fresh rosemary and thyme infuse every bite with aromatic depth, while a final resting period ensures the meat remains succulent and flavorful. Ideal for elevating weeknight meals or impressing guests at a dinner party, this elegant dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes. With just 20 minutes of prep time, itβs an easy yet luxurious addition to your repertoire.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the lamb loin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
Rub the mustard-herb mixture all over the lamb loin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and slightly clumped.
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the lamb loin, creating a crust over the mustard coating.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Sear the lamb loin on all sides for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60Β°C (140Β°F) for medium-rare or 70Β°C (160Β°F) for medium.
Remove the lamb from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the lamb loin into medallions and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
