Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Score the top of the lamb in a diamond pattern by making shallow cuts with a sharp knife.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
Place lamb in the prepared roasting pan, fat side up. Spread garlic/herb mixture evenly over the lamb, rubbing thoroughly into the scored cuts.
Roast in oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium, about 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve immediately.
