Grilled to perfection and glazed with a flavorful marinade, this rack of lamb is perfect for impressing guests on special occasions or enjoying a gourmet meal at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of lamb (approximately 1 pound each), trimmed of excess fat
  • ¼ cup minced green onions (white and light green parts only)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
  • 1½ tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together minced green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, crushed garlic, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  2. Marinate the Lamb: Place the trimmed racks of lamb in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, seal, and massage it into the lamb. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight, turning occasionally.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Prepare the Lamb for Grilling: Remove lamb from marinade, placing it on a plate. Reserve marinade in the fridge. Pat lamb dry with paper towels, blotting off excess moisture. Season with more kosher salt.
  5. Grill the Lamb: Place the lamb racks fat-side down on the grill. Grill for about 7 to 8 minutes until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, until an internal thermometer reads 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the lamb rests, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce for 1 to 2 minutes to a glaze.
  7. Serve: Brush the glaze over the lamb racks and cut between the bones to serve.

Notes

  • Spice Level: Adjust gochujang and brown sugar to make the marinade spicier or milder.
  • Herbal Touch: Add fresh mint or cilantro to the marinade for extra freshness.
  • Citrus Kick: A tablespoon of fresh lemon or lime juice in the marinade adds brightness.
