Directions

  1. Pat lamb dry and score fat by making shallow cuts all over with tip of a sharp small knife.

  3. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  6. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 15 to 25 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 140°F for medium-rare).
  7. Add wine to pan and deglaze by boiling over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Season pan juices with salt and pepper and serve with lamb.
