I had really good results in the sous vide for only a couple hours at 132, then a quick sear. I just used simple salt, pepper and rosemary for seasonings. A chimichurri would go well too. I would imagine a reverse sear would get the same results. Remove a lot of the fat as they are usually small and you won't have long enough to render much of it

I love me some rack of lamb. Takes all the garlic and rosemary you can throw at it. The fat on Lamb can flare up something fierce so be mindful of how you sear. I get the best results going with a direct low 'n slow and searing at the end if enough color didn't develop. Baste frequently with evoo/garlic/rosemary to get good controlled flareups.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave

Yeah, but I let it hit 130F at least. I think lamb is best on the medium side of medium-rare. Still pink but not rare.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave -
Fish, how have you not done a rack of lamb yet????
As stated above, salt pepper garlic and rosemary. If you have DP red eye express, they nailed it perfectly for lamb.
Indirect at 225 then 500f indirect sear just before serving. I catch the lamb fat. I do not like the smell or flavor of the lamb fat falling on the coals.
Serve over grits or polenta ( these were garlic rosemary infused grits.)

Here is a link to some racks I did awhile back... The write up has links to the recipes.

I have also done this recipe on the egg with great results...

Side note: I have also used the pistachio tapenade on pork tenderloin with good results as well.

With that being said, it works out well for me because MY beautiful wife does not eat lamb. So I get a dinner and lunch out of a rack. Otherwise, I serve them as appetizers like I did above. Note the bones resting on a tenderloin. That is the only way I see it serving 4.
Looking forward to your cook!--------------------------------------------------

Being lazy I go raised direct like @bgebrent. Start fat side down then flip after around 10 mins. Finish around 130*F and cook at 350-375*F for about 30 minutes. A true banquet awaits.
