Recipe by Hobotronics

This is a recipe that I have been working on/perfecting for some time. Inspired by the Rack of Lamb at Outback. I found a seasoning recipe online a few years ago that was similar to mine. The most laborious part is mixing the seasonings. The seasoning is incredible, great for any meat really. The Cabernet sauce is a variation the outback one and is great too. I served this recently with mashed red potatoes. Sometimes I'll do 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon granulated salt, to make the saltiness more uniform.

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 425.
Mix together seasoning ingredients in a bowl.
Heat Olive Oil in large skillet to medium.
If you like you can trim some fat from the racks. You also can slice them in half for smaller racks.(I usually do whole 8 bone racks) Sprinkle seasoning on each rack.
Sear each rack on all sides until browned(2-4 minutes tops) Put racks into roasting pan and bake for 15 minutes to 130 degrees (for medium).Or 20 mins for a light pink med well. When lamb is done take it out of the oven and cover pan with foil and let lamb sit for 10 minutes.
While lamb is cooking, make cabernet sauce by melting butter in the searing skillet ( Do NOT wash out skillet -- you want the cooked bits of lamb or "fond" in there for flavor ). When melted add flour and cook for a minute or so. Stir in other ingriedents starting with the Wine and Beef Broth, then simmer for a bit to reduce the liquid. You can add a bit of cornstarch if you want it thicker(My wife likes it to be more like gravy).
When everything is ready you can cut the racks into 2 bone chops or leave it whole depending on your presention. Serve with Cab sauce on the side. The Cab Sauce is also great on mashed pototoes. Enjoy!
