In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil and sear the lamb on all sides over medium-high heat. Place the lamb on a heavy rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes for medium-rare or longer until done to choice. Prepare the sauce while the lamb is roasting.
- Slice the lamb. Divide the warm sauce among the serving plates and place four ribs on each plate. Serve immediately.
