Dinner tonight: rack of lamb

in Lamb
I've been wanting to try a rack of lamb on the egg for a while.... Tonight's the night! SWMBO has never had lamb before, so I'm hoping I knock it out of the park and she likes it.
The lamb is rubbed down with EVOO and sprinkled with SPOG, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.

I need to stop looking at the forum. I'm less than half way into a cross country flight and there is no way I'm paying money for the crap food they have on here.They/Them

A very tasty looking cook to me....

On the egg at 375. I'm going to bring it up to 115 IT then hit it with a quick reverse sear.
-
It looks like a great recipe. When I made lamb my wife broke it too me in the nicest way possible:That is the best lamb I have tried...but I still don't like lamb
. Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
Well the lamb came out great and SWMBO loved it!! I was very happy with the flavor that the SPOG added under the garlic, thyme and rosemary. It really enhanced the flavors of the herbs. I'll definitely be making this again soon.

Impressive sir! Looks excellent to say the least. Solid cook my friend. Enjoy.

This one was $15 from my butcher. I was surprised to see it at such a reasonable price but I'm not complaining! :-bd
-
So . . . Lamb, rack of, is eaten medium rare?
-
@SteveWPBFL I cooked this rack rare (I like my meat bloody ) but most folks go medium rare with lamb. I would hesitate to take a rack of lamb above 140 IT because you would lose all of the juice and flavor IMHO.

Brother Chilly that is spot on in my book. I love rare lamb. The food looks magnificent to say the least. Solid cook all around my friend. Nicely executed! =D>

@SGH you are too kind my brother. I was very happy with the way it came out as well. I think I actually would have undercooked the rack if I'd pulled off the cook as expected. My IT reading with the thermapen was much higher than the actual temps (because I took the temp from the top down as opposed to from the side in). Luckily when I was resting the meat waiting for the egg to get to searing temps I touched the meat with my finger and could tell I messed up.
With the slightly under cooked meat and the hotter than expected temps due to the OO temp spike we discussed in the other thread I got an AMAZING sear and the perfect rare lamb center. Sometimes adjusting on the fly and rolling with the punches provides the best results!
The consistency of the sear and interior temp reminded me of my only sous vide cook.
And typing that last sentence has me thinking about rack of lamb sous vide recipes.......

@ChillyWillis
If you would have undercooked it a hair it still would have not been a issue at all. Lamb is excellent when served very rare. Also lamb is very forgiving. When you went to eat if the lamb would have been discovered to be to rare at this point and time it could have been placed back on the grid for farther cooking without harm or quality degradation. Lamb is very forgiving in this arena.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

EVOO and SPOG?? Fairly new to forum. What does this mean?

@Lblanch40 Wow, this thread is a blast from the past. @SmokeyPitt is correct, EVOO is extra virgin olive oil and SPOG is salt pepper onion and garlic powder. The ratio of salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder I use is usually 2/2/1/1 (although I can be 100% sure that ratio is what I used for this cook seeing as it was a while ago now)
Edit: looks like I already answered that question before in this thread, lol! 2/2/1/1 it is!
