Rack of Lamb

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Beef

Ingredients

  • 2- 1 lb. French-style lamb rib roasts
  • 2 cups dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 shallots, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 recipe Rich Brown Sauce (see recipe)
  • 2 tbsp. brandy
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme, crushed

Directions

  1. Place meat in a large Ziploc bag set in a deep large bowl. For marinade, in a medium bowl, combine the wine, onion, shallots, oil, pepper, 1/2 tsp basil, rosemary, and bay leaf. Pour marinade over meat. Seal bag; turn to coat meat. Marinate in fridge for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.

  2. Drain meat, reserving marinade. In a saucepan, bring marinade to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Strain, discarding solids.

  3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450. Pat meat dry with paper towels. Place the meat, rib sides down, in a shallow roasting pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until medium rare. To prevent overbrowning, cover loosely with foil during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Transfer meat to a platter, reserving drippings in pan; cover meat and keep warm.

  4. For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine 1 tbsp. of the reserved pan drippings and the reduced marinade. Add the Rich Brown Sauce, brandy and 1/4 tsp thyme. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Serve sauce with meat.
