Roasted Rack of Lamb DIY Recipe (with step-by-step instructions)

Ever since I discovered how to cook steak, with my trusty cast iron pan , I’ve pretty much been stuck cooking that for ALL special occasions. Birthdays? Check. Anniversaries? Check. Christmas? Check.

Well, my family put their foot down and said enough is enough! So I had a think and decided to upgrade to…. Roasted Rack of Lamb! Just thinking about it makes me drool. This is also pretty easy to cook and almost fool-proof. Read on to find out more 😉

 

DELECTABLE DISH FOR THE DAY: ROASTED RACK OF LAMB

DIFFICULTY: Easy

SERVING SIZE: Good for 5 people

COOKING TIME: 45 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS FOR THE ROASTED RACK OF LAMB

Bread crumb mixture

Honestly, I’m not super sold with this mixture. I feel like plain salt and pepper would’ve also done the job

  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp chopped rosemary
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Lamb

 

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO MAKE ROASTED RACK OF LAMB

  • Pre-heat oven to 230 deg C
  • In a large pan, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 2 tbsp olive oil (to allow the mixture to mix better)

  • Place your pan in high heat. Sear the lamb rack for ~2 minutes on all sides. Set aside for a few minutes to rest

  • Brush the rack of lamb with the mustard, then roll in the bread crumb mixture until it’s evenly coated

  • Arrange the rack bone side down in the skillet. Roast the lamb for ~15 minutes, to get a medium rare doneness for your meat.

  • Let it rest for ~10 minutes before slicing into it. To pair, I also cooked roasted crispy potatoes which are just delicious, and Mint Jelly sauce (my preferred brand is Master Foods)
