American Lamb Rack Facts
Serving an amazing rack of American lamb is easier than you might think. Just as with other proteins, lamb can be broiled, grilled, pan fried or roasted. Although some tastes vary, we prefer our rack of lamb be served medium-rare – cooked to an internal temperature between 125°F and 135°F.
An average lamb rack weighs about 2 pounds. Lamb rib chops are cut from a rack of lamb. There are 8 chops per rack, with 1 rib bone per chop.
A “Frenched Rack” has had a few inches of meat removed from the end of the bones, which makes for a great presentation! A “Crown Roast” is made of two Frenched lamb racks tied together to resemble a crown.
