Ingredients
Preparation
In large bowl, combine pesto, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Trim fat from lamb. Add lamb to marinade, turning to coat; let stand for 10 minutes. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place lamb on rack on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast in 450°F (230°C) oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C) for rare, or until desired doneness.
Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain and serving with any accumulated juices.
