Tips:

  • Choose the right rack of lamb: Opt for a rack of lamb that is evenly marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will ensure that your lamb is tender and flavorful.
  • Trim the lamb: Remove any excess fat or sinew from the lamb before cooking. This will help to prevent the lamb from becoming tough.
  • Season the lamb: Generously season the lamb with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Sear the lamb: Sear the lamb in a hot skillet until it is browned on all sides. This will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Roast the lamb: Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan and place it in a preheated oven. Roast the lamb until it reaches your desired level of doneness. A medium-rare lamb will have an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb rest: Allow the lamb to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful lamb.

Rack of lamb with herbes de Provence is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following the tips above, you can create a rack of lamb that is tender, flavorful, and sure to impress your guests.
