Method

Preparation of Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Place the rack of lamb into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.

Cooking the Lamb

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the marinated rack of lamb for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 5

    Roast the Lamb

    Transfer the lamb to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (145°F for medium rare).

  4. 6

    Rest the Lamb

    Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 7

    Prepare the Asparagus

    While the lamb is resting, steam or sauté the trimmed asparagus until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 8

    Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes

    In the same pan used for the lamb, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften.

Optional Sauce Preparation

  1. 9

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the lamb, add red wine and beef broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, then whisk in the butter until melted and smooth.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rack of lamb between the bones into individual chops. Arrange on a plate with the sautéed asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the optional sauce over the lamb if desired.
