Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 1.5 to 2 lbs) rack of lamb
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the rack of lamb. Pat the meat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Season the lamb generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rack of lamb for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and lemon juice to create the glaze.

Step 6

Brush the glaze evenly over the rack of lamb, reserving a little for basting later.

Step 7

Place the skillet with the lamb in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 8

Halfway through the cooking time, brush the lamb with the remaining glaze to deepen the flavor and create a caramelized coating.

Step 9

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Carve the rack of lamb into individual chops and serve warm. Enjoy your honey glazed masterpiece!
