Yield: 4 servings

2 racks of lamb, each cut in half, leaving

Clarified Butter Sauce:
5 ounces top-quality blue cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add clarified butter to a large saut pan. Add the lamb chops and season with salt and pepper. When lamb is seared on both sides, remove and finish cooking in oven for 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare.

In a pan over medium heat, melt blue cheese. Whisk in wine. Add demiglace or stock. Let cook until mixture reduces in volume. Pour in heavy cream. Add roux in small increments until desired consistency is reached.

To serve, trim lamb from bone and slice into medallions. Ladle sauce over top of meat.
