Smoked Rack of American Lamb
Recipe provided by | OVER THE FIRE COOKING
Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 2.5 Hours
INGREDIENTS
SMOKED RACK OF LAMB INGREDIENTS
1 whole Rack of American Lamb
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and Pepper
HERB BUTTER PASTE INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup of butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of parsley (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon of cumin
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
Salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS
In your smoker, build up heat until you reach an even 225F. (NOTE: I recommend using hickory or apple wood for subtle smoky flavor.)
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Herb Butter Paste thoroughly.
Rub rack of lamb with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. On the side without bones, rub the Herb Butter Paste evenly.
Place lamb in smoker at 225F for 2-2.5 hours or until the internal temperature is at 135F (medium-rare). NOTE: About 15 minutes before pulling the lamb out, start a hot fire in order to sear the outside layers.
When the lamb is ready, pull it out of the smoker and quickly sear the lamb on both sides for 1 minute each.
Let lamb rest for 8-10 minutes.
Enjoy your delicious and adventurous meal!
