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.

HERB-MARINATED RACK OF LAMB



Herb-Marinated Rack of Lamb image

Rack of lamb is simple to prepare and quite elegant for a proper dinner party. Racks have become so popular and expensive in the U.S. that chefs have turned to overseas sources to supply their restaurants at a much cheaper price. There are many New Zealand producers selling lamb with no added hormones or antibiotics. Small organic and free range producers in the U.S. sell their animals whole, so you not only get two racks you get everything else, legs, shoulders, shanks, etc. as well. Lambs are very small, 35 to 40 pounds, so if you split a whole one with a friend it is easy to use up all of the cuts. The herb marinade for the rack really perfumes the meat if it is done a day or two ahead of time. The same marinade can be used for many other cuts as well. It is best to remove as many of the herbs and garlic before roasting as they will burn and create off flavors.

Categories     main-dish

Time 13h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lamb racks (about 8 to 9 ribs each)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled and crushed
2 (4-inch) rosemary sprigs, crushed
6 thyme sprigs, crushed
4 rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Clean the rib bones well by scraping off meat and sinew with a small sharp knife. Cut the racks in 1/2 so that each has four ribs. Mix together the olive oil, crushed garlic, crushed rosemary and thyme sprigs in a large bowl. Add the lamb and coat well. Grind some coarse black pepper over all. Wrap well and marinate the racks overnight.
  • The next day remove the lamb from the marinade and scrape off as many herbs as possible. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the lamb well with salt; no additional pepper should be necessary, and sear fat side down until golden, about 7 minutes. Turn over so that the fat side is up and roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Let the rack rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • To serve, cut each lamb rack into 4 equal pieces, 2 bones per chop and serve on individual plates or a platter with the accompaniments of your choice.

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.

  • 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.
