Note
For best results, ensure the lamb is at room temperature before cooking to prevent uneven doneness.
White peppercorns can be substituted with black peppercorns if white ones are unavailable, though the flavor will be slightly different.
Lamb flank can vary in thickness; adjust cooking time accordingly. Use a meat thermometer for precise internal temperature: 135ðF for medium-rare, 145ðF for medium.
Resting the meat is crucial to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender final dish.
Serve with roasted root vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad to balance the rich flavors of the lamb.
