    2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
    1 teaspoon salt

    Position a broiler pan 4 to 5 inches away from the heating element and preheat the broiler and broiler pan or prepare a medium hot grill fire.
    Place the lamb, fat side down, on the broiler pan grill rack.
    Cook, turning once, until well seared but still juicy and pink on the inside, about 12 minutes on each side. (Cook a few minutes more on each side for medium.).
    Remove lamb from the oven or grill and let stand for 6-8 minutes, loosly covered with aluminum foil.
    Cut lamb into 1/2 inch slices.
