How To Make rack of lamb with mustard and herbs

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Step 2
    Season lamb with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear lamb, one rack at a time. Using tongs, hold each rack upright; sear ends, about 20 seconds each. Rack should look golden. Transfer racks to a 13x9-inch baking dish.

    In a bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, garlic, thyme, rosemary, butter, and a pinch of salt; mix well.
  • Step 5
    Brush seared lamb with a thin layer of mustard. Sprinkle bread crumbs over surface of lamb, pressing so it adheres well.
  • Step 6
    Roast lamb at 400° until a thermometer reads 120° (about 20 minutes for rare, 25 minutes for medium-rare).
  • Step 7
    Before slicing, let lamb rest on cutting board 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
