Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole lamb racks
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Allow the meat to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Make a wet rub using the garlic, rosemary, mustard, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the meat evenly with black pepper and kosher salt.
- Rub the lamb with most of the wet rub, setting aside a little of it for basting.
- Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat setting.
- Arrange the racks of lamb on your grill and allow the meat to sear for 4 minutes on each side.
- Once it is done searing, you will grill the meat over indirect heat.
- Continue grilling for 15 minutes for medium rare and flip the meat once halfway through.
- Baste the rack with the remaining mustard sauce. Avoid turning over the meat constantly during the cooking process to allow it to form a nice crust.
- Check the internal temperature of your lamb with a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, the temperature should be between 125°F to 135°F.
- Remove your rack of lamb and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite sides.
