Prepare the Lamb
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the lamb saddle with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on both sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.

Roast the Lamb
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the lamb for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (135°F or 57°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
