Ingredients

• 4 pieces lamb loins
• 0.5 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the marinade is smooth and well-blended.

Step 2

Place the lamb loins in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the lamb loins from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during grilling (optional: heat the marinade in a small saucepan for safety before basting).

Step 5

Place the lamb loins on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved (use a meat thermometer: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 6

If using reserved marinade, brush it onto the lamb loins during the final 1-2 minutes of cooking to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Remove the lamb loins from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
