Lamb Rub

Our lamb rub combines simple ingredients to create a delicious outcome. The addition of olive oil makes it easy to apply on all cuts of lamb, including chops, rack of lamb, leg of lamb, shanks, breast, and ribs.

Why this lamb rub recipe works

Lamb, garlic, and rosemary are made for each other, and this rub will impart a delicious, savory, herbal flavor to the meat. This lamb rub recipe provides enough mixture for 2 medium-sized racks of lamb. Increase the recipe for larger racks and roasts.

Making and using a lamb rub

  • Make the rub: Crush the garlic cloves and salt using a mortar and pestle or small food processor. Stir in olive oil, ground peppercorns, chopped rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and nutmeg.
  • Prep the meat: For lamb leg, rack of lamb, or fattier cuts, score the fat with a sharp knife 1/8″ deep. 
  • Apply the rub: Coat meat evenly with mixture, cover with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator for 2-4 hours before cooking. 
  • Marinate: Leave the mixture on chops for 1 hour, for medium-sized roasts for 2-4 hours, and lamb leg for 4 hours.
  • Food safety: Discard leftover rub that has come into contact with raw meat.

Make this rub ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use as needed.
