   Preheat the oven to 450u00b0F.

   Brush the lamb with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add one of the lamb racks, fat-side down; brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a roasting pan. Repeat with remaining rack. Reserve skillet with pan juices.

3. 3

   Roast lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the lamb and not touching bone registers 125F to 130F for medium-rare, 18 to 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet with pan juices and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the broth, bring to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove from heat, stir in the scallion greens and marjoram, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cover to keep warm.

7. 7

   Transfer the lamb to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice into individual chops and serve with the vegetables and pan juices.
