Korean Barbecued Rack Of Lamb Food

KOREAN BARBECUED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Combine gochujang, garlic, green onions, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and salt. Whisk marinade until thoroughly combined.
• Trim any excess fat along the surface of lamb. Cut a slash about 1 1/2 inches deep between each rib bone, stopping above the loin. Transfer racks to a zip-top bag. Place bag in a bowl; pour marinade inside. Seal the bag and massage the marinade onto the lamb. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning once or twice, 8 to 24 hours.
• Remove racks of lamb to a plate and return marinade to the fridge. Blot off extra moisture from the fatty side of the lamb. Sprinkle more kosher salt on top.
• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add racks fat side-down and cook until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), 12 to 15 minutes more. Plate lamb and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; continue cooking until reduced to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes more. Brush glaze over the lamb.

KOREAN CRUSTED ROAST LAMB

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, ginger, sesame oil, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, the mirin, sugar, half the sesame seeds and the peppercorns in a mini chopper and blitz to a paste. Stab holes all over the leg of lamb with a small sharp knife. Put the lamb in a dish and tip the paste over, massage it into the holes and where the meat naturally splits by the bone. If any of the paste falls off, pack back onto the lamb with your hands, then cover and put in the fridge to marinate for at least a couple of hours or overnight.
• Take the lamb out of the fridge 1 hr before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place in a large roasting tin and sit the lamb, crust-side up, on the rack. Pour any marinade into the roasting tin with 100ml water, then place in the oven. After about 30 mins, drizzle the crust with a little oil to help it crisp slightly, and if at any point it's becoming too brown, cover loosely with foil. The juices in the bottom of the pan will caramelise and become sticky, but top up with water if necessary so that they don't burn. Cook the lamb for 1 hr 30 mins if you like it pink by the bone but cooked. If you prefer it rare, cook for 10 mins less; if you prefer it more cooked, give it 20 mins extra.
• About 10 mins before the lamb is done to your liking, scatter with the remaining sesame seeds and continue to roast. When the lamb is cooked, carefully lift it onto a board and add the remaining soy to the roasting tin. Taste and add a splash more mirin, soy and water if it needs it. Bring to the boil and scrape any crusty bits off the bottom of the tin, then pass through a sieve into a gravy jug. Serve the lamb with traditional roast accompaniments or with lettuce leaves, shredded vegetables and chilli sauce for a crowd to wrap up and enjoy.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Make brine using the brining ingredients.
• Add lamb and make sure it is completely covered.
• Let sit at least 8 hours in th refrigerator or if using Food Saver marinate 2 hours.Meanwhile make a mixure of the second part of Rosemary, Thyme, garlic and oil.
• Remove the racks of lamb from the brine solution and pat dry with a tea towel. Smear with herb mixture.
• Brush grill with canola oil. Light the burners under the grill plate and allow them to get quite.hot. Place the racks of lamb on the hot barbecue grill and brown each side. Once the racks of lamb have been browned, slide the rack to the other side of the barbecue and adjust the flames so they are at a medium Low heat.
• Throw the rosemary sticks from the brine mixture onto one of the burners and close the barbecue lid. The idea is that the rosemary sticks will smoke and burn providing a smoky rosemary flavoured atmosphere and the racks of lamb will bake inside the oven cavity of the barbecue.
• Cook until temperature reaches 65° for medium rare, approx 20 minutes.
• Place on plate; cover with foil and towel and let sit 10 minutes.
• Very nice served with Knorr demi-glace sauce, mint jelly if that is your choice. Enjoy!
