Here is a great way to cook a rack of lamb. The sweetness of the sugar and vinegar compliment the nuttiness and slight heat of peppercorns.
Ready
Lamb
- 1 lamb rack, frenched
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
Glaze
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup red wine
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced rosemary
- 2 Tbsp red peppercorns, crushed
Set
- Small sauce pan
- Ovenproof roasting pan
- Aluminum foil
- Meat thermometer
Go
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Season the rack with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Add glaze ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large ovenproof roasting pan over medium high heat.
- Sear the lamb racks for 2-3 minutes each side to brown, then drain excess fat from pan.
- Brush with glaze, place in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until medium-rare* (135°F). Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
