Rack of Lamb

Douro Wine Sauce

Method

Preparing the Rack of Lamb

1

Season the Lamb

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the rack of lamb with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

2

Sear the Lamb

In a hot skillet, sear the lamb rack for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

3

Roast the Lamb

Transfer the seared lamb to a roasting pan and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Making the Douro Wine Sauce

4

Sauté Shallots

In the same skillet used for the lamb, add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent.

5

Deglaze with Wine

Pour in the Douro red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits. Bring to a simmer.

6

Add Beef Stock

Add beef stock and fresh rosemary. Continue to simmer until the sauce reduces by half.

7

Finish the Sauce

Whisk in butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

8

Slice and Plate

Once the lamb is done, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the Douro wine sauce drizzled over the top.
