Rack of Lamb

[detroitdad]

My son got me this rack of lamb for Father's day. I have never cooked a rack of lamb. I am leaning towards the Weber charcoal grill with an oil and Herb seasoning. I would love to hear from anyone who has cooked a rack of lamb.

The Weber grill is a great choice You can use a mix of rosemary, thyme, basil, and other favorite herbs. Don't forget to drizzle the lamb chops with olive oil to keep them juicy and add a bit of zest.

especially for lamb, . . . there is but one deadly sin: do not overcook it....
140'F tops.
oven or grill - watch it closely....

If I have one goal, this is it. I won't be shooting for 140 lol

I usually trim mine and cut them into chops and haven't actually ever cooked a rack of lamb before, though I certainly have bought them! I am sure you will do just fine!

Lamb is on our wishlist. Boyfriend promised to inquire for a good spot to eat it. Since I have never tried it...

So detroitdad , how was the lamb?

 

[detroitdad]

I am cooking it tomorrow. I made a fresh Rosemary and Thyme marinade with garlic salt and pepper and a touch of crushed red pepper. I still haven't decided if I'm doing the grill or cast iron pan

I'd never cooked a rack until about 10 years ago. The butcher asked me if I wanted them cut into chops, and, like an idiot non-meat eater, I said yes.
Disaster. Cook the whole rack, and then cut them!

Yes sir! That is my game plan

Racks have a thinner/smaller end. Make sure that's where you take your temperature, otherwise it will be overdone. And some people put a small half inch cut down between each bone. It will help the lamb cook more evenly.

half inch cut down between each bone. It

Now that sounds like a been there,done that tip. Excellent. Will try to remember.

Fantastic! The next rack will be cooked on the grill.

I prefer them in chops and they always come out perfectly medium rare with a sear on each individual chop. I butcher them myself, trimming off the silverskin and excess fat. I guess it works fine either way you decide to do it!
