Lamb ribs are a delightfully tasty and tender cut of meat when cooked properly. In this article, I will instruct you how to cook lamb ribs in oven and on grill with these simple step-by-step instructions.
1. How To Cook Lamb Ribs in Oven
Ingredients
- 2 racks of lamb ribs
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to form a glaze.
Place the lamb ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Brush the garlic brown sugar honey glaze generously over the lamb ribs, coating them thoroughly. Reserve some of the glaze for basting during baking.
Place the baking sheet with the lamb ribs in the preheated oven.
Bake the lamb ribs for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are tender and the glaze has caramelized, basting them occasionally with the reserved glaze. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the ribs, so keep an eye on them.
About halfway through the cooking time, you can cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb ribs. They are typically done when the internal temperature reaches around 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Cut the lamb ribs into individual pieces between the bones before serving. They pair well with sides like roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
