Ingredients
  

The Meat

  • 3 Lamb chops
  • 1-2 Tsp Rosemary
  • 1/2 Basil
  • 1/2 Tsp Thyme

Balsamic Reduction

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Shallot Finely minced
  • 1/3 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2/3 Cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 Tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the smoker to 180-225ish. 225 is always my go-to, RecTeq has "XTREME SMOKE" at the 180 level - we're only going to about 110 internal temp, so it all depends on how long you want to spend.
  • Season that lamb with the rosemary, basil, thyme, and S&P.
  • Throw the meat on the grates and remove after IT 110.
  • As you crank your pellet smoker to 450+, lets get that reduction ready to go.
  • Brown your shallots, and add vinegar/chicken broth. Let it go over medium-high for 5 minutes (reduced). Throw the butter in there, stir it up and keep it on low while you finish off the meat.
  • Sear the meat, preferably on your GrillGrates, until your IT is 135ish. (or your preferred temperature).
  • Remove from grill, plate, and drizzle that balsamic goodness on there. (Don't forget to turn off the burner, I know I said 'low' earlier, but just to make sure)
  • Eat!
