Ingredients

Lamb Ingredients

  • 1 whole American rack of lamb
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Herb Butter Paste Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp of parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp of cumin
  • 1 tbsp of minced garlic
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  • In your smoker, build up heat until you reach an even 225F. NOTE: I recommend using hickory or apple wood for subtle smoky flavor.
  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Herb Butter Paste thoroughly.
  • Rub rack of lamb with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. On the side without bones, rub the Herb Butter Paste evenly.
  • Place lamb in smoker at 225F for 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature is at 135F (medium-rare). NOTE: About 15 minutes before pulling the lamb out, start a hot fire in order to sear the outside layers.
  • When the lamb is ready, pull it out of the smoker and quickly sear the lamb on both sides for 1 minute each.
  • Let lamb rest for 8-10 minutes.
  • Enjoy your delicious and adventurous meal!
