Swedish Winter BBQ Lamb Ribs with Rosemary Glaze

Introduction

Experience the magic of Swedish winter BBQ with these tender, slow-grilled lamb ribs infused with a fragrant rosemary glaze. Using the Arteflame grill, we sear the ribs at 1,000°F on the center grill grate to lock in the juices before finishing them to perfection on the flat top cooktop. This reverse-searing method delivers mouthwatering, juicy ribs with a beautiful sear, perfect for a cozy outdoor gathering.

Ingredients

• 2 racks of lamb ribs
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Wood for grilling

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood over the napkins and light the paper.
3. Let the grill heat for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Prepare the Rosemary Glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
2. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 3: Sear the Lamb Ribs

1. Place the lamb ribs on the center grill grate and sear each side for about 2 minutes until a rich crust forms.
2. Move the ribs to the flat top cooktop to continue cooking them slowly.

Step 4: Glaze and Grill to Perfection

1. Generously brush the rosemary glaze over the ribs as they cook.
2. Let them grill on the flat cooktop for 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally.
3. Remove the ribs when the internal temperature is 15°F below your desired doneness.
4. Let them rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.

Tips

• For more smokiness, add additional rosemary sprigs to the firewood.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
• Let the butter glaze warm up before brushing for easier application.

Variations

1. Spicy Swedish Ribs: Add red pepper flakes and smoked paprika to the glaze for a kick.
2. Herb-Infused Ribs: Add thyme and parsley alongside the rosemary for a deeper herbaceous flavor.
3. Garlic Butter Ribs: Increase the garlic amount and add roasted garlic purée to the glaze.
4. Sweet Maple Ribs: Substitute honey with maple syrup for a richer sweetness.
5. Mustard & Herb Ribs: Mix whole-grain mustard with rosemary for a tangier flavor.
