Provided by Andrew Schloss

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups Guinness ale
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons Smokin' Rub
3 pounds bone-in lamb leg steaks (see Know-How)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 cups Guinness BBQ Sauce

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Light a grill for direct medium-high heat, about 425°F.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Rest the meat for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the steaks with the remaining sauce on the side.
