Ingredients

• 1 rack of lamb, at room temperature
• 3 tbsp grape seed oil
• 1 tbsp rosemary leaves, de-stemmed and finely chopped (about 3 sprigs)
• 1 tbsp thyme leaves, de-stemmed and finely chopped (about 6 sprigs)
• ¼ cup beef stock
• 2 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season well with salt and pepper.
2. Coat the lamb with 2 tbsp of a high smoke point oil, such as grape seed oil, and cover with the minced herbs.
3. Heat another tbsp of oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, then add the lamb, fat-side down. Leave the meat to cook for 2-3 minutes until seared. Sear the ends for a minute, then transfer to a grill rack set over a baking dish or tray (to catch the excess fat and juices).
4. Roast the lamb until the meat reaches 130 F internal temp for about 15 to 20 minutes (for medium rare), then transfer to a chopping board, wrap in foil and set aside to rest for 10 mins.
5. Meanwhile, pour the lamb renderings from the bottom of a roasting pan and add 2 tbsp butter and ¼ cup of beef stock. Whisk to heat over a medium heat. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce, or until the sauce can coat a spoon.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm over a very low heat if necessary.
7. Carve the lamb into chops and serve with the sauce.
