Ingredients

  • 1 rack of lamb
  • Kosher salt

Seasoning Mix

  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by trimming the lamb. Remove the silverskin on the underside of the rack with a blunt knife and dry paper towel.
  • Sprinkle the meat with salt and dry brine in the fridge for 1-2 hours before cooking
  • Fire up your smoker to 225°F (107°C). If you are using a charcoal grill, set it up for two-zone cooking with the direct-heat side as hot as you can get it.
  • Place the lamb rack on the smoker grates, on the indirect side. Cook for 45 minutes, or until the meat's internal temperature has reached 115-120°F (46-49°C).
  • Move the lamb over direct heat increase heat to high, about 450°F+ (230°C). Sear the rack for 2 minutes per side.
  • Cut the rack into 4 fat, double-wide chops by slicing between every second bone. Try to make all 4 chops the same thickness so they will cook at the same rate.
  • Remove the rack from the heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes. While it rests, combine the seasoning mix.
  • Slice into two chops per serving. Sprinkle with seasoning mix and serve.
