11 Sous Vide Roasts, including Sous Vide Rack of Lamb with Herby Feta Sauce
Ingredients
Rack of Lamb
- 1 rack of lamb, 1.3-2 pounds
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sumac
Herby Feta Sauce
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 tbsp finely chopped mint
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat water bath using your immersion circulator to 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, 138 degrees F (59 degrees C) for medium, and 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-well. I highly recommend medium-rare.
- Mix together the kosher salt, Italian seasoning, sumac, and garlic powder. Season the rack of lamb generously with the mixture.
- Place the lamb rack in vacuum sealable bag and vacuum seal. Add to preheated water bath and cook for 2-3 hours.
- While the lamb is cooking, prep the sauce. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When done cooking, remove the lamb rack from vacuum sealed bag and pat dry with paper towels.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place lamb on baking sheet fat cap side up and place under broiler. Broil until browned, then flip and broil until the other side is browned.
- Cut along the bones using a sharp chef’s knife.
- Serve with feta herb sauce.
Notes
When determining quantity, aim for .75 pounds per person. There’s a lot of bone and fat in this cut which is why we need so much.
I highly recommend medium-rare: 130 degrees F.
