Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup grainy mustard
1 medium lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, grated
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 bone) rack of lamb, exterior fat trimmed

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Place the whole rack of lamb into a large zip-top bag and pour mustard mixture all over it. Massage the sauce into the meat until fully coated. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours.
  • Clean an outdoor grill and preheat for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove lamb from the refrigerator and discard marinade. Wrap exposed bones in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent them from burning and flaking.
  • Place lamb on the preheated grill over direct heat. Sear the surface briefly, just until a dark brown crust starts to form, about 3 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Flip and sear the other side.
  • Move onto indirect heat and close the grill. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 120 degrees F (58 degrees C) for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer lamb to a serving dish and cover with foil for 5 minutes. Remove all foil and cut into chops to serve.

HERB GRILLED RACK OF LAMB



Herb Grilled Rack of Lamb image

Quick and easy yet elegant grilled main dish. Herb measurements are approximate, and any of the savory , or mint family of herbs may be used. If you use fresh herbs, you can't go wrong. The only sin is to not use enough. If fresh herbs aren't available, you may substitute dried herbs, but reduce the quantities to 2-3 tsp. each. Frenched Lamb racks are available in vac packs most everywhere. If not, ask your butcher to french them for you.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB



Grilled Rack of Lamb image

Wonderful moist and full of flavour. I found the perfect way to prepare a rack of lamb on the BBQ. Brining is the answer. This is for 1 rack of 8 ribs but you can simply add a second rack to the brine.

Provided by Sageca

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 8h20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 rack of lamb
1 liter water
1 tablespoon salt
3 sprigs rosemary
3 garlic cloves
2 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Make brine using the brining ingredients.
  • Add lamb and make sure it is completely covered.
  • Let sit at least 8 hours in th refrigerator or if using Food Saver marinate 2 hours.Meanwhile make a mixure of the second part of Rosemary, Thyme, garlic and oil.
  • Remove the racks of lamb from the brine solution and pat dry with a tea towel. Smear with herb mixture.
  • Brush grill with canola oil. Light the burners under the grill plate and allow them to get quite.hot. Place the racks of lamb on the hot barbecue grill and brown each side. Once the racks of lamb have been browned, slide the rack to the other side of the barbecue and adjust the flames so they are at a medium Low heat.
  • Throw the rosemary sticks from the brine mixture onto one of the burners and close the barbecue lid. The idea is that the rosemary sticks will smoke and burn providing a smoky rosemary flavoured atmosphere and the racks of lamb will bake inside the oven cavity of the barbecue.
  • Cook until temperature reaches 65° for medium rare, approx 20 minutes.
  • Place on plate; cover with foil and towel and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Very nice served with Knorr demi-glace sauce, mint jelly if that is your choice. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for racks of lamb that are fresh, evenly colored, and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Prepare the lamb properly: French the racks of lamb by removing the chine bone and excess fat. This will help the lamb cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help tenderize it and infuse it with delicious flavors.
  • Cook the lamb over high heat: Grilling the lamb over high heat will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare lamb, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
