Rack of Lamb

Serves: 8

Print this Recipe

Prep: 15 min; Grill: 45 min

We’ve called for dried marjoram leaves in this recipe because in our testing, we found that fresh marjoram burned.


   3 pounds racks of lamb
   2 teaspoons dried marjoram leaves (not fresh)
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 clove garlic
   2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
   Wine Mop (see recipe)


1. Have butcher saw backbone between center rib bones of lamb so lamb can be cut apart for serving. Remove excess fat.

2. Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.

3. Grind marjoram, salt and garlic in a mortar with pestle or small bowl with back of spoon; add oil to make a paste. Rub marjoram mixture on cut surfaces of lamb. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in center of lamb and does not touch bone.

4. Make Wine Mop.

5. Grill lamb, fat side down, uncovered about 4 inches from hot heat 25 minutes, mopping or brushing frequently with wine mixture. Turn lamb; grill uncovered 15 to 20 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 160° (medium doneness). Discard any remaining wine mixture.

6. To serve, cut lamb apart between ribs.

Wine Mop
3/4 cup dry red wine, nonalcoholic red wine or apple cider
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Mix all ingredients.
