Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Grated zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup kosher salt
Pinch of sugar
2 8-bone racks of lamb, chine bone removed, frenched
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Mix together the lemon zest, rosemary, salt and sugar. Season the racks on all sides with this mixture, cover and put in the refrigerator overnight. This acts like a quick cure, which will add flavor to the lamb when it is cooked.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Put a large saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Put one of the seasoned racks in the pan fat-side down and sear until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the rack and sear the other side for a few minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet fat-side up, and repeat the browning process with the other rack.
  • Put the baking sheet with both racks on it in the oven and roast until the meat registers 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into chops and serving.

GRILL-ROASTED RACK OF LAMB IN RED MOLE



Grill-Roasted Rack of Lamb in Red Mole image

Provided by Norman Van Aken

Categories     Lamb     Marinate     Backyard BBQ     Rack of Lamb     Summer     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Two 7- to 8-bone racks of lamb, trimmed and Frenched (the butcher can do this)
2 1/2 cups Red Mole
1 to 2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the racks of lamb in half so that you have four 3- or 4-boned sections of meat.
  • Place on a platter or in a baking dish and cover the meat with 1 1/2 cups of the mole (try to avoid wasting the mole on the bones). Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and for as long as overnight. Refrigerate the remaining mole for when you serve the dish.
  • Prepare a medium fire in a grill. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
  • Brush off any excess marinade from the lamb. Oil the grill rack, lay the racks of lamb on it, and grill, turning once or twice, until nicely browned on all sides. Be mindful that the fat on the lamb can drip and cause the flames to flare; if this happens, simply turn the lamb over or move it away from the hottest flames.
  • Transfer the meat to a small roasting pan and put it in the oven. Check it after 10 minutes, and discard any fat that may have accumulated in the bottom of the pan. Cook the lamb until it has reached the desired doneness. In my opinion, lamb from the rack is best served medium-rare. (When it is rare, the texture can be too springy; when medium-well to well-done, it often will be disagreeably dry.) An internal temperature of 130 degrees will be right - especially when you take into account that the temperature will rise another few degrees once it comes out of the oven. Allow the lamb to rest for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, warm the reserved mole in a small saucepan.
  • Cut the lamb into chops, or serve the half-racks as they are. Offer the mole on the side, with salt and pepper.
  • Recommended wine: A Zinfandel from Sonoma (but not a high-alcohol one) will offer restraint to complement the gentle gaminess of the lamb and the power of the red mole.

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: Look for racks of lamb that are bright red in color with a firm texture. Avoid racks that are dull in color or have a slimy texture.
  • Trim the lamb racks: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the lamb racks. This will help the lamb cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Season the lamb racks generously: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to season the lamb racks. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb.
  • Cook the lamb racks over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the lamb from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb racks are cooked to your desired doneness: Medium-rare is the recommended doneness for lamb racks, but you can cook them to your liking.
  • Let the lamb racks rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

BBQ roasted rack of lamb is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb racks turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful.
