Cat's away, the mice will.....eat lamb

My wife is not very fond of lamb, so it is rarely eaten at our house. She's out of town with two of our children, so my oldest and I decided that tonight would be a good night to have some lamb. While I was liberating that salmon from CostCo, a nice rack of lamb jumped into the cart, too.....

I decided on a sous vide preparation mostly because my time for dinner prep was limited. Getting the lamb in a bag with some seasoning, and the water going is super simple, so all I needed after that was 30 minutes to get some coals hot when it was time to eat. Here is the lamb pre-bag with just salt and pepper:

....and, here she is after 2.5 hours in the bag at 130, added some dried thyme (wanted to go simple on this one, really wanted to taste the lamb!):

I did a strong pre-heat on the cast iron grate insert, and here's how the lamb looked after the flip (don't let the flames scare ya!):

My daughter and I enjoyed this meal together out in our newly renovated backyard (pics later), on a splendid evening (finally cooling down!) The lamb was tender, and delicious, making for a simple but special meal for the two of us (she goes off to college in the Fall, so I am relishing any 1:1 time I get with her.)

Thanks for lookin', keep on cookin'!

Thanks, folks, I really enjoyed this one for both the meal, and the wonderful company! :)

Excellent BBQ Rich. I especially love this shot (cuz I'm kinda a pyromaniac)

Chuck, that was my favorite, too. I consider my BBQ addiction to be a constructive use of my predilection to pyromania! ;)

I love those Racks of Lamb from Costco. I usually buy 2 or 3 at a time and freeze them. Terrific looking plate Rich and just know it was delicious!
