How to Make Amazing Simple Rack Of Lamb With Cabernet Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, whisk together the seasoning ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp dried rosemary, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper.
3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Optional: Trim excess fat from the racks of lamb.
5. Optional: Slice the racks in half for smaller portions.
6. Generously coat each rack of lamb with the seasoning blend, ensuring all sides are covered.
7. Sear each rack of lamb in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
9. Remove the skillet from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before carving.
10. While the lamb rests, prepare the Cabernet sauce: Melt 2 tbsp butter in the same skillet (remove excess lamb fat first).
11. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
12. Gradually whisk in 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon, 1/2 cup beef broth, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
13. If desired, whisk in 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water to further thicken the sauce.
14. Carve the lamb into 2-bone chops or serve whole, depending on your preference.
15. Serve the lamb with the Cabernet sauce on the side. The sauce is also delicious drizzled over mashed potatoes!
16. Enjoy!
