Ingredients

• 2 lbs lamb ribs
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame grill

1. Pour vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins inside the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire burn for about 20 minutes until the cooktop is hot.

Step 2: Prepare the glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a sticky glaze.
2. Set aside for brushing.

Step 3: Sear the lamb ribs

1. Rub the lamb ribs with a little butter.
2. Sear them on the center grill grate of the Arteflame for 3-4 minutes per side to lock in the juices.

Step 4: Cook the lamb ribs

1. Move the seared ribs to the flat cooktop griddle towards the outer edges for gentle cooking.
2. Brush the ribs generously with the honey mustard glaze.
3. Cook for another 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally and adding more glaze as they cook.

Step 5: Rest and serve

1. Remove the ribs when they reach an internal temperature 15°F below the desired doneness (for medium, remove at 130°F).
2. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
3. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve.

Tips

• Searing the ribs first prevents them from drying out and locks in flavor.
• Cooking towards the edge of the griddle ensures slow and even heat distribution.
• Keep a brush handy to continuously glaze the ribs as they cook.
• Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature for doneness.

Variations

1. Spicy Honey Mustard Ribs: Add 1 tsp cayenne pepper to the glaze for a spicy kick.
2. Herb Butter Ribs: Mix butter with fresh rosemary and thyme before rubbing over the ribs.
3. Citrus Glazed Ribs: Add the zest of one orange and 1 tbsp orange juice to the honey mustard glaze.
4. Sticky Balsamic Ribs: Substitute half of the honey with balsamic glaze for a tangy sweetness.
5. Maple Mustard Ribs: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a deep, robust sweetness.
