How to Make Asian Racks Of Lamb With Sesame Sauce
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place lamb racks in an oven-safe dish and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk together all remaining marinade ingredients (see ingredient list for quantities).
- Rub the marinade thoroughly over the lamb racks, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or preferably longer).
- Roast lamb racks for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (around 135°F for medium-rare). Baste with pan juices halfway through.
- Remove the lamb racks from the oven and let them rest, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, carefully remove excess fat from the roasting pan.
- Add chicken or lamb stock to the pan and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in sesame oil and sesame paste. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and a touch of soy sauce or rice vinegar if desired.
- Slice the rested lamb racks and serve them generously drizzled with the delicious sesame gravy.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
