Monk’s “Prized” Rack of Lamb
4 Servings
Ingredients
4 Frenched lamb rack
1 oz bacon, fine dice
1 oz shallots, fine dice
1 oz red carrots, fine dice
4 oz Gale’s Prize Old Ale
2 oz veal or lamb demi-glace*
1 T butter
1 T chervil, chopped
to taste salt and pepper
To Finish
  • Served with truffled mashed potatoes and garden fresh vegetables.
    *Demi-glace can be found at most food specialty stores or you can make it fresh by making a good lamb stock and reducing it.
  • Method
  • Place aluminum foil around each bone of the racks covering the whole bone completely. This prevents the bones from burning on the grill.
  • Salt and pepper each side of the racks.
  • Oil or spray the grill with non stick spray. Place the racks meat side down on a medium hot grill.
  • Mark the racks on the grill. This should take about 3 minutes.
  • In an oven safe sauce pan, place the grilled racks in a 400 degree oven. For medium rare keep them in the oven for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and place the racks aside removing the foil.
  • Place the pan on medium heat on the stove top and add the shallots, carrots, and bacon. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the shallots become translucent.
  • Deglaze the pan with the Gale’s Prize Old Ale and let reduce by half.
  • Add the demi-glace and again reduce by half.
  • Mount the sauce with the butter and set aside.
  • Cut the racks in between every two bones and arrange on a plate.
  • Add the chervil to the sauce and place the sauce evenly over the racks and serve.
