Ingredients for Guinness-Glazed Lamb Chops

  • 475ml (450g) Guinness stout

  • 100g packed light brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed

  • 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed

  • 16 rib lamb chops (buy separately or buy two 8-rib racks of lamb and cut them yourself into individual chops)

Bring stout, sugar, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and 1/4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 2-quart nonreactive saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then continue boiling (keep an eye on it and reduce heat to keep it from boiling over) until glaze is syrupy and reduced to about 120ml , 20 to 30 minutes.

Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard solids.

Preheat grill.

Pat chops dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper.

Divide glaze between 2 small bowls and set 1 aside for use later. Brush both sides of chops with glaze (from remaining bowl) and arrange on rack of a grill pan.

Grill 5 inches from heat, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. (Don't hesitate to cut and peek to check on the doneness of the meat.)

Transfer chops to a platter and drizzle with reserved glaze.
