Cedar Planked Asian Rack Of Lamb Recipes

RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, and garlic until they're as finely minced as possible. Add the mustard and balsamic vinegar and process for 1 minute. Place the lamb in a roasting or sheet pan with the ribs curving down, and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roast the lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.

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.

CEDAR PLANK OVEN SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the cedar plank in water for 1 hour. When it's almost done soaking, begin preheating the oven to 350 F.
• While the oven is preheating, make a brine for the salmon by combining 2 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of salt. Soak the salmon in the brine for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.
• Remove the cedar plank from the water and shake off excess water. Remove the salmon from the brine and gently pat to remove excess brine. Rub the salmon with the desired amount of salmon rub.
• Place a flat rack on a baking sheet (you can line the baking sheet with foil first, for easy cleanup, if desired). Place the soaked plank on the rack. Put the baking sheet with the rack and plank on it in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up.
• Remove the baking sheet with the rack and plank on it. Place the rubbed salmon on the hot plank; if the end of a salmon filet is thinner than the center, you can gently fold the thin end under so that the salmon cooks more evenly. Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. (Salmon is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.)
• Optional: glaze salmon fillets with melted butter and sprinkle on chopped fresh dill just before serving.

ASIAN MARINATED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Trim the rack of lamb removing fat and silver skin.
• Mix the marinade ingredients in a blender jar until well blended.
• Put the meat in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over.
• Seal the bag well and place in refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Set out the meat and allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
• Run the bones under cool water before roasting.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, spray and broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray and place rack meat side down.
• Place 1 cup of water in bottom of broiler pan, place the pan in the oven and roast uncovered for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers between 145 and 150 degrees for medium-rare.
• Check the meat a couple of times during cooking. If the water has cooked out of pan, add additional water.
• To serve, carve the rack into individual chops allowing 2 chops per person.

CEDAR PLANKED ASIAN RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Whisk together ingredients and divide into 2 portions. Lightly season lamb with salt. Coat racks with one portion of marinade and set aside the other for the second batch.
• Cover lamb and chill 2 hours or overnight.
• Place lamb racks on cedar plank in pairs, facing one another, so the ribs interlock. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until lamb registers 125 degrees on meat thermometer.
• Remove from grill and tent loosely with foil for 5 - 10 minutes. Slice into chops and serve garnished with chopped peanuts and green onions.
