Rack of Lamb

Red Wine Veal Demi-Glace

Grilled Asparagus

Anise Pommes Purée

Method

Rack of Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the rack of lamb with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the rack of lamb for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 3

    Finish in Oven

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Red Wine Veal Demi-Glace

  1. 4

    Prepare Demi-Glace

    In a saucepan, add veal stock and red wine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

  2. 5

    Add Shallots

    Add chopped shallots and simmer the mixture until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.

  3. 6

    Finish with Butter

    Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and the sauce is smooth. Strain if desired and keep warm.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 7

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and rinse under cold water.

  2. 8

    Season Asparagus

    In a bowl, toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 9

    Grill Asparagus

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill asparagus for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Anise Pommes Purée

  1. 10

    Cook Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 11

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, anise seeds, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 12

    Serve

    Keep the pommes purée warm until ready to serve alongside the lamb and asparagus.
