    Sous Vide Lamb Rack is juicy, tender, and flavorful. I think sous vide has become my favorite way to make a rack of lamb.

    A rack of lamb can be pricey, and sometimes that can make me a little nervous about cooking it. No one wants to overcook a pricey cut of meat. That’s where sous vide comes into play. Sous vide makes this lamb roast come out perfectly!

    Sous Vide Rack Of Lamb

    A friend of mine asked me how to cook a rack of lamb because every time she made it, she felt like it was overcooked and a waste of money. So, I had her come over to my house and we made this Sous Vide Rack of Lamb together. And, that’s how this recipe came to be. If you are wondering what to serve with this sous vide lamb roast recipe, here is my favorite side dish to go with it.

    Ingredients

    You only need 8 easy ingredients to make this delicious recipe.

    • Lamb Rack (8 bone)
    • olive oil
    • garlic cloves
    • fresh rosemary
    • fresh or dried thyme
    • ground sage
    • Sea salt and pepper

    See the recipe card below for quantities and cooking times.

    Instructions

    To make this savory and delicious rack of lamb you only need to follow these five easy steps.

    Step 1: Prepare to sous vide

    Prepare the sous vide. If you are using your instant pot, fill the pot up to the fill line (roughly 10 cups of water).

    Step 2: Seasong the rack of lamb

    Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the lamb rack. Season generously with the herbs and minced garlic.

    Step 3: Prepare the rack of lamb for cooking

    With a sheet of foil, gently wrap around the end with the exposed bones (to prevent them
    from breaking) and place the seasoned lamb rack into a plastic food storage zip-top bag. Add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and seal the bag, pressing as much air out as
    possible.

    Step 4: Sous Vide the rack of lamb

    Gently submerge the bag into the top of the instant pot or sous vide and cook for roughly
    2 hours, or until your desired internal temperature. Carefully remove the lamb rack from
    the bag and pat dry with a paper towel.

    Step 5: Brown the lamb

    In a cast-iron skillet or frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Feel free
    to put some additional herbs in the skillet as well to give a boost of flavor. Place the rack
    of lamb (meat side down) into the pan and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, or until it has a
    nice caramelized texture. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 6: Serve the lamb

    Remove from the pan and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your
    favorite roasted veggies or leafy green salad.
