Grilled Rack of Lamb

Posted on 20 April 2009

Marinade:
2 cups red wine – Pinot Noir or Merlot works…
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

That’s enough marinade for a couple racks. Put them in a zip-loc bag with the marinade in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Take them out a half hour before grilling and allow to warm up a bit. Heat grill to high, and grill ribs on each side about 3 minutes to get a good sear going. Move the ribs to indirect heat and cook until internal temperature about 120-130 (depending on how you like it.) remove to plate and allow to sit about 10 minutes before carving.

Awesome.

    Thanks for the recipe, I’m definitely going to try this one out. Only problem: rack of lamb isn’t exactly something you pick up at the local Safeway. Where do I go to get this kind of meat? Might have to look up a local butcher, though I can’t recall seeing many of those around either…

    There are plenty of places in your area that source lamb. Farmers markets, Pikes Place Market, Butcher shops, and high-end grocers like “Whole Foods.
