I love lamb but I love it better with Cabernet sauce! I must admit I impressed myself with this recipe! I cut my racks into chops and OMG every bite was so tender and juicy (hence the name) that all I could do is moan. It was the perfect medium well with just the right crisp on the skin, WHEW! And the Cabernet sauce OMG ~ RIDICULOUS ~ OVER THE TOP ~ MOUTH WATERING GOOD!!!!! Can you say lick your fingers? YEP that’s what this girl was doing the whole time!!!!!!!
Oh yeah baby!
Just takin a lil marinade bath
Sear sear baby!
Roasting up a lil love!
And then there was heavenly sauce!
TENDER JUICY ROASTED RACK OF LAMB WITH CABERNET SAUCE
INGREDIENTS:
2 racks of bone in lamb
Marinade (see recipe below)
2 tbsp. canola oil
Rotisserie Seasoning
Montreal Steak Seasoning
LAMB MARINADE INGREDIENTS:
½ cup sake
½ cup orange juice
2 tbsp. A1 sauce
2 tsp. crushed garlic
Juice from half a lemon
1 tbsp. canola oil (plus 2 tbsp. to sear the lamb)
CABERNET SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ cups Cabernet Sauvignon
1 ½ tbsp. crushed garlic
¼ cup finely chopped thyme
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 ½ tbsp. unsalted butter
Corn starch mixture (1 tsp. corn starch mixed with 2 tsp. water)
READY, SET, GO:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Thoroughly clean racks of lamb and pat dry
- Mix all ingredients from marinade in a bowl and set aside
- Rub lamb racks with canola oil and season with rotisserie and Montreal seasonings
- Pour marinade all over lamb racks, cover and allow to marinade in fridge for minimum of 1 hour or ideally over night
- Add canola oil to a Dutch oven (or skillet) over high heat, (*season lamb racks again with rotisserie and steak seasoning if necessary) add racks of lamb (one at a time if both do not fit) and turn heat down to medium high and allow to sear 2-3 minutes on each side
- Remove lamb from Dutch oven and place in roasting pan, roast in oven uncovered and allow to roast for 30 to 40 minutes
- LETS MAKE CABERNET SAUCE – in the same Dutch oven (you want all the lamb drippings), add the Cabernet Sauvignon, bring to a boil and whisk incorporating all the lamb drippings, add the crushed garlic and thyme allow to continue to boil for 3-4 minutes, add chicken stock, corn starch mixture and continue to boil another 2-3 minutes, remove from heat, add butter and whisk to incorporate
- Serve as whole racks, cut into half racks, or cut bone by bone for lamb chops ~ ENJOY!
