Rack of Lamb (Reverse Sear) -- How to Cook a Rack of Lamb

Serves 2

1 rack of lamb (about 1.5 lb)
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 garlic clove, mashed into paste or grated on a microplane zester
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp minced mint or cilantro (fresh)

Remove the fat cap and trim all visible silver skin from the lamb. Cut the rack in half.
Preheat the oven to 250F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Wrap the roasting pan with foil (to make clean up easy). Place a flat rack in the roasting pan.

When you are ready to cook the lamb, dry it well with paper towels and season very generously with salt and pepper on all sides (or salt 24 hours in advance and then dry before cooking). Immediately, set the roasts on the rack and place in the oven until instant read thermometer inserted into the center registers 95 for rare, 100 for medium-rare, 110 for medium, and 115 for medium-well. The reason these temperatures are higher than for a steak is that a rack of lamb doesn’t make as good of a contact with the skillet as a steak during the sear. How long it takes to get to this temperature depends on the thickness of the lamb. A thermometer is key! Start checking after the first 20 minutes. It will take 20 – 35 minutes.

Turn on the broiler. Put the oil into a heavy skillet set over high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the lamb presentation side down and brown for 1 minute. Turn and brown the other side, then briefly brown the ends (20 seconds or so). Return the lamb to the pan with the rack bone side up (the part that’s impossible to brown in the skillet). Place under the broiler for 90 seconds. Remove to a warm plate.

Rub all over with garlic. Then rub with butter and sprinkle with cilantro or mint. Let rest for 7 minutes. Slice, sprinkle the cut sides with a little salt, and serve.
