Reverse Seared Chocolate Mint Lamb

Reverse-searing red meats is especially great for achieving a uniform medium-rare straight through without sacrificing the charred outer edge we all crave. This lamb is slathered in a tangy mint sauce made from fresh sprigs of chocolate mint. Peppermint would do, also, but cut the amount down by half if using that more robust herb. The same goes for the garlic we used. If you have time, throw 20 or so peeled cloves of garlic into a ramekin and cover almost all the way with olive oil. Roast those slowly in your warm Memphis at 250F for about 45 minutes or until the garlic has browned. Keep in a jar in the fridge to add tons of savory flavor to any garlicky dishes of your choice. If you don't have time, simply cut the roasted garlic amount down by half and use fresh instead.
