Rack Of Lamb With Mustard Recipes

RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD AND HERBS

Steps:

• Season lamb with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sear lamb, one rack at a time. Using tongs, hold each rack upright; sear ends, about 20 seconds each. Rack should look golden. Transfer racks to 13x9-inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, stir together bread crumbs, garlic, thyme, rosemary, butter, and a pinch of salt; mix well.
• Brush seared lamb with a thin layer of mustard. Sprinkle bread crumbs over surface of lamb, pressing so it adheres well.
• Roast lamb at 400° until a thermometer reads 120° (about 20 minutes for rare, 25 minutes for medium-rare).
• Before slicing, let lamb rest on cutting board 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD CRUST

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Place the whole rack of lamb into a large zip-top bag and pour mustard mixture all over it. Massage the sauce into the meat until fully coated. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours.
• Clean an outdoor grill and preheat for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
• Remove lamb from the refrigerator and discard marinade. Wrap exposed bones in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent them from burning and flaking.
• Place lamb on the preheated grill over direct heat. Sear the surface briefly, just until a dark brown crust starts to form, about 3 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Flip and sear the other side.
• Move onto indirect heat and close the grill. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 120 degrees F (58 degrees C) for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer lamb to a serving dish and cover with foil for 5 minutes. Remove all foil and cut into chops to serve.

RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD SEED CRUST

Steps:

• Well in advance (anywhere from 2 hours to a week) of making the lamb, combine the butter, yolks, bread crumbs, rosemary, mustard seed and Dijon mustard in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Using a spatula, spoon the mustard crust mixture into the pan, smooth the surface, and place in the refrigerator. Allow to chill until solid.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
• Season the lamb with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Place the racks, meat side down, in the skillet, and brown for 2 to 3 minutes to a crispy brown coating. Turn over. Cook 1 minute more on the bone side. Remove from the saute pan or skillet, and place in a roasting pan. Place the racks in the oven and cook 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare.
• While the lamb is roasting, remove the mustard crust by lifting the plastic wrap out of the loaf pan. You should now have a slab of seasoned mustard crust. Cut the loaf of herb butter into 1/2 inch thick slices. Refrigerate them until the lamb has cooked for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lamb from the oven, lay the slabs of seasoned mustard crust on the meat side of the lamb, and press the butter with your finger tips to help it to adhere to the meat. Return the lamb to the oven for 5 minutes more to allow the butter to form a crust. Remove the racks from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into individual chops or 4rib rack portions.

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 400°F.
• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown lamb 1 rack at a time, turning once, about 4 minutes per rack. Transfer to a 13- by 9- by 2-inch roasting pan, arranging fatty sides up.
• Spread fatty sides of each rack with 2 teaspoons mustard. Divide bread crumb mixture into 3 portions and pat each portion over mustard coating on each rack, gently pressing to adhere.
• Roast lamb until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center (do not touch bone) registers 130°F (for medium-rare), 20 to 25 minutes, and transfer to a cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes, then cut into chops.

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat oil over high heat in a large ovenproof skillet and sear lamb, fat side down, until dark brown, about 6 minutes.
• Remove lamb from skillet, and discard fat. Return lamb, seared side up, to pan, and roast in oven until a thermometer inserted in center reaches 130 degrees, 15 to 17 minutes. Let lamb rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil.
• Pour out excess fat from skillet, and place over medium-high heat. Add wine, and simmer, stirring and scraping up browned bits, until reduced by two-thirds, about 2 minutes. Whisk in stock, mustard, and molasses, and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes. Carve lamb into individual chops, and serve with sauce.

RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD CRUST

Steps:

• Pat the lamb dry with paper towels. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a zip-top plastic bag; add the lamb, seal the bag, and knead it around the lamb to work in the marinade and coat the meat thoroughly. Let it sit at room temperature for an hour or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerating overnight, bring to room temperature before roasting; this takes about 2 hours.
• Position the oven racks so that the top rack is 6 inches below the top of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F. Coat the meat roasting rack that comes with your oven with nonstick spray for easier cleanup. Set the rack over its pan.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, leaving a coating on the meat. Discard the bag and the rest of the marinade. Place the lamb on the roasting rack, fat side up, place on the top oven rack, and roast for 5 minutes for rare or 8 minutes for medium-rare. Turn the lamb over and continue roasting for 5 more minutes for rare and 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the lamb from the oven, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Cut between the bones of the rack and serve the lamb in 1-rib pieces.

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir bread crumbs and oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until crumbs begin to crisp, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Press crumbs onto mustard coating on lamb. Roast lamb until thermometer inserted into center registers 125°F for rare, about 25 minutes. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve.
