Method

  • You will also need:
  • 1.
  • A glass or earthenware casserole or a large Ziplock plastic bag in which to marinate the lamb.
  • 2.
  • An outdoor grill or a stove top grill.
  • For either method the cooking times remain the same.
  • 3.
  • A medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan in which to make the Sauce Creole.
  • For the lamb:
  • 1.
  • In a bowl mix together the marinade ingredients: the chili sauce, red wine vinegar, olive oil, beef bouillon (either dissolve a cube of beef bouillon in a cup of hot water, or substitute 1 cup of canned bouillon), sugar, salt, black pepper, bay leaves, onion, garlic and rosemary.
  • Pour the marinade into an earthenware or glass casserole or a Ziplock plastic bag thats large enough to hold the loins of lamb.
  • Add the lamb, seal the bag/container, put it into the refrigerator and marinate it for two hours or up to two days.
  • 2.
  • When its done marinating, remove the lamb from the marinade.
  • Reserve the marinade for making the Sauce Creole.
  • The instructions for making the Sauce Creole are given below.
  • 3.
  • Oil the grill rack well.
  • If using a stove top grill, brush it with some oil after heating it and just before placing the lamb on it.
  • 4.
  • Light the grill and while waiting for the coals to turn ashy gray, make the Sauce Creole described in the instructions below.
  • 5.
  • When the coals are ready (or when the stovetop grill is very hot) place the loins on the rack and grill them on the first side for 4 minutes with the grill cover closed.
  • 6.
  • Then turn the loins and grill them on the second side for 3 minutes.
  • Turn the loins only once.
  • 7.
  • Then transfer the loins to a pan and tent them loosely with some aluminum foil.
  • Let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing them.
  • 8.
  • Just before serving, cut each loin into six or seven 1/2-inch slices.
  • Spoon some Sauce Creole down the center of each plate.
  • Arrange the slices of lamb on top of the sauce and pour a little more sauce down over the slices.
  • Curl ribbons of roasted pepper at the side of the lamb or on top of it if you like.
  • Photographs illustrating ways of serving the lamb are on the related link.
  • For the Sauce Creole:
  • 1.
  • Pour the reserved marinade into the saucepan and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the demi-glace and heat the sauce, uncovered, over medium heat until it thickens.
  • 2.
  • The sauce is done when it coats a wooden spoon and slowly drips down the length of it.
  • Another sign that the sauce has reached the right consistency is that a little of it, spooned on a plate, will spread a bit and then stop.
  • 3.
  • Remove the bay leaves.
  • Add the Tabasco and taste the sauce.
  • Wait a minute to allow the flavour of the Tabasco to make itself apparent, then add a bit more if you like.
  • Note: Lamb grilled for this amount of time will be medium well or pink inside and juicy, but not bloody.
