Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat dry 2 pounds lamb loin and make small incisions all over to insert 5 thinly sliced garlic cloves evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest.
  3. Step 3: Rub the herb and oil mixture all over the lamb, coating it thoroughly. Place lamb on a roasting rack in a baking tray.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until an internal temperature of 135°F is reached. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly to serve.
