When you purchase a rack of lamb most often it has been already trimmed. If it is not the method to trim it is simple. Cut between the rib bones and scrape the meat off exposing the bottom 3 inches of the bone. Do this at the thick end so you can easily carve off the individual chops when you are ready to serve.

A rib eye roast is a standing rib roast that has been removed from the bone and tied. It is a very tender piece of meat and has more flavor than tenderloin. Using wine to baste the meat gives it flavor and helps it to remain moist. A dark stout beer can be used in place of the wine if you prefer. The beer will give it more of stout taste where the wine will give it a slightly sweeter taste.
