Grilled Lamb with Brown Sugar Glaze sounds like a delicious dish! Here’s a simple recipe you can follow to prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs lamb chops or rack of lamb
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar), olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir occasionally and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Lamb:
- Pat the lamb chops or rack of lamb dry with paper towels.
- Season the lamb generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Grill the Lamb:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is about 130°F or 54°C internal temperature).
- Glaze the Lamb:
- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the lamb with the brown sugar glaze on both sides.
- Allow the glaze to caramelize slightly but be careful not to burn it.
- Serve:
- Once the lamb is grilled and the glaze has formed a nice coat, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, drizzle a bit more of the brown sugar glaze over the lamb before serving.
Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, you can add some wood chips to your grill (if using a charcoal or gas grill) or use a smoker.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
Enjoy your grilled lamb with brown sugar glaze!
