• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce

• 3 preheat the oven to 450ºf.
• 4 coat a baking sheet or the bottom of your roasting pan with tin foil, making sure the entire sheet is covered. the marinade tends to burn on and it’s a pain to wash.
• 5 for tenderloin: place the tenderloins, side by side without touching, on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• 6 for chops: place lamb chops on a baking sheet.
• 7 roast for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160ºf, basting occasionally with the marinade. discard any unused marinade.
