Provided by Susie Bulloch (heygrillhey.com)

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 rack lamb (approximately 6-8 bones)
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
4 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 Tablespoon fresh mint, (finely minced)
1 Tablespoon fresh oregano, (finely minced)
1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, (finely minced)
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, (finely minced)
1 Tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients for the garlic herb marinade in a zip top bag and mix to combine.
  • Preheat your grill for two-zone cooking. Aim for 450 degrees F for your direct side of heat.
  • Place your rack of lamb in the marinade and massage to coat. Place in your refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours.
  • Remove rack of lamb from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Wrap the bones in heavy duty aluminum foil to prevent them from burning.
  • Place your lamb on indirect side of heat for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 100 degrees F in the thickest part of the lamb, making sure your thermometer isn't touching the bone.
  • Move the lamb to direct heat and grill to your preferred doneness, approximately 2 minutes per side. Leave the lid open on your grill and don't leave. Their is a fat cap on a rack of lamb, and over the direct heat it will cook quickly and has a potential for flare up. Stay close to remove the rack as needed.
  • Refer to the temperature guide in the notes, I do not recommend cooking lamb above Medium Rare.

Tips:

  • To ensure the lamb is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F (57°C), medium is 145°F (63°C), and well-done is 160°F (71°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also judge the doneness of the lamb by its color. Medium-rare lamb will be pink in the center, while well-done lamb will be brown throughout.
  • Let the lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the grilled rack of lamb with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
  • For a Provençal-inspired meal, pair the grilled rack of lamb with a glass of Côtes du Rhône red wine.
