Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450℉. Prepare the lamb rub by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Then rub the rack with the herb mixture on both sides (*This process could be prepared 24 hours ahead and kept in the fridge until ready to cook). Allow the meat to reach room temperature before transferring into the oven once ready to cook.
