Brazilian Grilled Lamb Ribs (Costela de Cordeiro)

Experience the authentic flavors of Brazilian churrasco with this simple yet sophisticated grilled lamb ribs recipe. Emphasizing the natural taste of the lamb, this dish employs minimal seasoning and slow cooking to ensure tenderness and a rich, savory flavor.

Ingredients

🐑 1 rack of Uruguayan lamb ribs
🧂 Coarse Salt Sal Grosso, generously applied
🍋 Fresh lemons for juice

Instructions

1- Preparation:

• Remove the lamb ribs from their packaging and pat them dry if necessary.
• Carefully skewer the lamb ribs. Insert a long metal skewer through the fleshy side, ensuring stability without piercing through completely.

2- Seasoning:

• Generously coat both sides of the lamb ribs with coarse salt, ensuring even coverage to enhance the flavor during grilling.

3- Initial Grilling:

• Preheat your barbecue grill to a moderate temperature. Using a built-in, multi-level barbecue grill setup, place the lamb ribs on the highest rack of the grill, far from direct heat.
• Grill the ribs for 30 minutes on one side before flipping.

4- Continue Grilling:

• After the initial 30 minutes, flip the ribs and grill the other side for another 30 minutes.
• Maintain a slow cooking process, flipping the ribs periodically until they are about 90% cooked through approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes in total.

5- Final Touches:

• Remove the ribs from the grill and place them on a cutting board. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, allowing the acidity to soak into the meat.
• Return the ribs to the grill for an additional 10 minutes to finish cooking and absorb the lemon juice, enhancing flavor without drying.

6- Serving:

• Once grilled to a perfect golden brown, remove the ribs and let them rest briefly.
• Slice the ribs into individual portions, separating the tender meat from the bones.
• Serve with fresh lemon or lime halves for added zest.

• Use minimal seasoning to preserve the lamb's natural flavors.
• A finishing touch of lemon juice enhances the taste and helps in achieving a crispy exterior.
