American · Main course · 40 min total

A simple yet elegant roasted lamb loin with a garlic and herb crust, perfect for a special dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 lamb loins (about 1 lb each), trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
3. Rub the paste all over the lamb loins.
4. Heat an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb loins for 2 minutes per side until browned.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp 135°F/57°C) or longer to desired doneness.
6. Remove lamb from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place skillet over medium heat, add wine, and deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
7. Slice lamb into medallions and drizzle with pan juices.

Tips

• Let lamb rest before slicing to retain juices.
• Pan juices can be strained for a smoother sauce.
• Leftovers are great cold in sandwiches.
