Chef's Tip
An American rack of lamb has 8 bones and weighs about 2 lbs.
Directions:
- Fill the hopper and preheat a pellet smoker to 375°F.
- Lay the lamb on a cutting board and apply mustard all over the meaty part of the rack.
- Combine the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Evenly distribute the spice mixture over the mustard covered area and use any excess on the underside.
- Place the lamb on the pellet grill and set a timer for 45 minutes or your desired internal temperature.
- Use these guidelines for degrees of doneness. Medium rare: 120°F Medium: 125°F Medium well: 130°F Dry: 135°
- Allow the lamb to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
