Rack of Lamb, a different approach
« Reply #-1 on: April 01, 2018, 11:21:55 PM »
We did a rack of lamb in the 2 Star, and it was A+!
Hope everyone had a great day. Incredible warm, sunny spring day here. Drinking wine in a t-shirt on the deck while doing this cook!

Started out by splitting the rack in half(4 ribs each), and vac packing them in a paste of rosemary, thyme, garlic, EVOO, a splash of balsamic vinegar, juice of half a lemon, and S&P. Let them marinade in that overnight.

Put them on the upper rack on "SMOKE" until 115-120F internal, and then moved them into the warming box while the temp came up to "GRILL". Seared them for about 4 minutes on the meaty side, and a minute or 2 on the bone side.

Meanwhile, my bride made the sides. A puree of steamed celery root, cauliflower, and garlic. stirred in some goat cheese, sour cream, and butter at the end. Along with some peas on the side as well.

Fantastic! She almost NEVER eats with her fingers. About halfway through the first rib, she was gnawing away! :)

Awesome cook!

The celery root-cauliflower puree sounds really good.

Any chance you could post that recipe for us, in the Recipes Section, under Sides?  It sounds wonderful!

You two clowns.... :D :D :D PEAS are GREAT for you. See below:

Pea protein is a “complete protein,” but it’s low in one vital amino acid.
Unlike some plant-based protein powders, pea protein is well digested and highly bioavailable.
Pea protein is almost as good as whey protein for building muscle, feeling satiated, and recovering from workouts.

So, suck it up and EAT your PEAS!!!! ;) :D :D :D

AKJEFF---let me add yet another compliment to the many above my post. EXCELLENT! I am not a big lamb fan, just never grew up with it like many folks did. Your lamb ribs look STUPENDOUS!  I am craving one of them right now based on your photos.  You hit it right out of the park! Keep up the great cooks. Thanks for sharing.
