    6.     Flip the rack and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

    7.     Transfer the skillet with the lamb to the preheated oven.

    8.     Roast the lamb for about 15-20 minutes, or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 51°C for medium-rare.
