Korean Barbecued Rack of Lamb

Recipesfull introduces to you: Good Times, Good Food. (Korean Barbecued Rack of Lamb). Lamb's subtly sweet gaminess works perfectly with the funky goodness of gochujang chile paste. The salt and sugar content of the simple Korean marinade acts as a brine for the lamb, producing a juicy interior when soaked overnight. In the final stage, the marinade is reduced, doubling as a sauce. I love using rack for this, since it's more tender and easier to work with than leg and a little more user-friendly than chops.

Step 1

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.
