Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat lamb dry and trim excess fat. Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 slits along each rib bone.
  2. Step 2: Finely chop rosemary, thyme, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Mix with olive oil, 1 tbsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stuff mixture into slits and press firmly.
  3. Step 3: Place lamb on a roasting pan and brush with remaining olive oil. Roast for 25 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and cook for 20-25 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 125°F for medium-rare.
  4. Step 4: Let rest 15 minutes, then carve and serve with rosemary sprigs garnished on top.
