Ingredients
- Lamb chops
- 8 pieces (about 1 inch thick)
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring each chop is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling.
- Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the grilled lamb chops alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a refreshing salad, and enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra kick, try adding red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If you have time, marinate the lamb chops overnight for even more flavor.
- Serve with a mint yogurt sauce for a traditional twist that complements the lamb beautifully.
