Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 rack Rack of Lamb The star ingredient, bringing tender, juicy flavors.
- 2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Adds richness and helps with grilling.
- 4 cloves Garlic Cloves For aromatic, savory depth.
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary Provides a fragrant herbal note.
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances the flavors, bringing everything together.
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Adds a touch of warmth and spice.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cleaning the rack of lamb, trimming any excess fat while leaving some for flavor.
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, olive oil, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to create a marinade.
- Rub the marinade all over the lamb, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature for the flavors to meld.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
- Once heated, place the marinated rack of lamb on the grill bone-side down.
- Close the lid and grill for about 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway. Look for a nice char and an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Serving
- After grilling, remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes; this helps retain its juices.
- Slice the lamb chops between the bones and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the lamb chops for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. If you're running short on time, use an air fryer for a quicker cook — just check your timing based on thickness. Always allow the lamb to come to room temperature before grilling and avoid overcooking for the best results.
