Baby Rack of Lamb with a Great Marinade

Lamb is truly a meat that’s reserved for special occasions, but that doesn’t mean that it’s difficult to prepare. This marinade is the perfect go-to for your no-fail baby rack of lamb from Satmar Meats.

My family is not so big on meat, but I was hosting guest that appreciates meat so i reached out to my friend Riki and asked her, “What can I make that’s amazing?”

Without thinking she told me you need to make this lamb.

It’s no fail.

The presentation is gorgeous, and it is sure to be loved by all those who appreciate a good piece of meat. 

Then, she sent me a photo of an ancient-looking recipe card (yes, one of those little index cards that’s yellow and brown on the sides). Judging from the use this card has gotten over the years, I knew it had to be good and I was definitely willing to try. 

It truly was. And we wanted to share this recipe with you too.

So, Satmar Meats sent us a baby rack of lamb so we could show you just how beautiful a dish it truly is. If you’d like to French the rack of lamb yourself—removing the fat from the top and between the bones (watch how it’s done here)—you can save a significant amount. Prefer to skip the prep? You can also order it already Frenched and ready to marinate. Either way!

With Satmar, we know that we’re getting quality, prime meat and it’s ONLY American meat. Nothing is imported. The kashrus is under Rabbi Leichteig Hashgacha.

The recipe is easy. First, prepare the sauce in a bowl. Add all the ingredients and give it a mix.

Pour it over the full rack of lamb and rub it in on all sides.

Broil the lamb for 12 minutes, then bake at 350℉ for an additional 40 minutes.

Alternatively, if you are making this for Shabbos or Yom Tov, you can broil it for 12 minutes, and then put it into the oven right before Shabbos on 180℉ until ready to be served.

We also tried broiling it before Yom Tov, then placing it in the refridgerator overnight and then in the oven on 180℉ the following day. It worked beautifully.

I served the rack whole and sliced it at the table.

As predicted it was a win! Even the non-meat lovers loved it.
