Smoked lamb rack is dry marinated in a homemade spice mixture overnight. Then it is smoked in the grill to a perfect medium-rare.
If you don’ have, or don’t care for, the spice mixture, try experimenting with your own flavors. Use what you have on hand, or your favorite combinations or store-bought mix.
We like our lamb cooked to a pink medium-rare, but feel free to cook it more to your liking.
