Ingredients
American Lamb Ribs
- 2 American Lamb ribs
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1-1/2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup chipotles in adobo sauce, pureed
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Using a knife, slice a crisscross pattern over the top fat of the ribs to help render during smoking. Lather ribs in yellow mustard; season thoroughly with black pepper, garlic powder, sea salt, chipotle powder and cumin.
Using a grill or smoker, start a fire with natural wood charcoal for an indirect cook. Set the grill/smoker for a consistent 225°F. Place ribs on grill; cook about 2 hours.
About 30 minutes before the ribs are ready, pour Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce (recipe below) over top of ribs; lather. Increase heat for the last 30 minutes to 300°F to 350°F to caramelize the ribs. Once internal temperature of ribs reaches 205°F, pull them off grill; let rest 8 to 10 minutes.
For the Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce: In a pan over a fire or stovetop, add ketchup, chipotles, honey, brown sugar, cloves, lime juice, salt and pepper; bring to a low boil. Cook 5 to 8 minutes to fully immerse.
