How to Make Super Simple Lamb Marinade

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine all marinade ingredients. Seal the bag and gently massage to ensure everything is well mixed.
  2. Add your 2-pound (approximately) pre-frenched racks of lamb to the bag. Seal tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Remove the lamb from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature (about 30 minutes) before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
  4. Preheat your grill or oven to the desired temperature (refer to your lamb cut's recommended temperature).
  5. Grill or roast the lamb, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until it reaches your desired internal temperature (use a meat thermometer for accuracy). Approximate cooking times are 10-20 minutes for grilling and 15-25 minutes for roasting, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remember that larger cuts will need longer cooking times.
  6. Let the lamb rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
