Ingredients:

  • 2 cups guinness ale
  • 1 tbsp coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tbsp smokin' rub
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups guinness bbq sauce

Directions:

  1. Combine the Guinness, salt, sugar, water and 2 tablespoons spice rub in a 1-gallon zipper-lock bag. Drop in the lamb steaks, press out the air, and seal. Refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours.
  2. Light a grill for direct medium-high heat, about 425°F.
  3. Remove the lamb from the brine and pat dry. Discard the brine. Coat the lamb with the oil and season with the rub. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  4. Brush the grill grate and rub with oil. Grill the steaks for about 7 minutes per side for medium-rare (135°F on an instant-read thermometer). Baste with a thin layer of the sauce during the last minute of grilling.
  5. Rest the meat for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the steaks with the remaining sauce on the side.
  6. Keep It Simple:
  7. Substitute any kind of chile rub or Cajun seasoning for the Smokin' Rub. Substitute prepared BBQ sauce spiked with a tablespoon of instant powdered espresso for the grilling sauce. Use lamb shoulder chops instead of lamb leg steaks.
  8. Know-How: Making Lamb Steaks If you can't find lamb leg steaks, you can get the same cut by slicing a boneless leg of lamb 1/2 inch thick.
