   In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the rack of lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

3. 3

   Roast the Lamb

   Transfer the seared lamb to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
