Entree

I use a savory garlic-herb marinade that works just as beautifully on lamb chops, leg of lamb, or honestly, any protein you're throwing on the grill. It’s my go-to trick for turning something basic into something unforgettable.

Pro tip: I get my frenched rack of lamb at Costco—it’s trimmed, ready to go, and totally grill-worthy.

This one’s not just for special occasions. This one’s for you.

Directions

  1. In a bowl combine all the ingredients except the lamb and mix together until it becomes thick like a paste. Coat the rack of lamb with the marinade and rub it into the meat. Set the racks fat side up in a baking dish and let stand for an hour before grilling.

  2. Heat the grill to 500° – 525°. Place the lamb, fat side down on the grates for about five minutes to create a good sear.

  3. Flip over the racks and reduce the temperature to 425° and continue cooking the lamb for an additional 15 minutes – or until an instant read digital thermometer reads 120°.

  4. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let it rest 10 minutes before carving. If you prefer a more cooked chop, leave the rack of lamb on the grill until it reaches 125-130° before removing it. Let it rest as described above before carving. Carve the racks in between the rib bones and transfer to plates. Serve right away.

Tell Bob the grill master he needs to invest in a barbecue grill mat. It still gives you the grill marks and you never have to scrape the grill to clean it. Cleanup is like in 15 seconds. Nothing ever sticks to the grill like it usually does.
