Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Using paper towels, pat lamb dry. Using a sharp knife, score the top side of the lamb by making shallow cuts in a diamond pattern.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, Dijon, salt and pepper.
Step 4
Place lamb, fat side up, on a rack in the prepared roasting pan. Spread garlic mixture evenly over the lamb, rubbing in thoroughly into the scored cuts.
Step 5
Place into oven and roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium, about 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, or until desired doneness. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Chef's notes
Bone-in will have extra flavor.
Marinating is not needed as the garlic mixture rub will bring in flavor.
Serve with mini hasselback potatoes for a complete meal.
