Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops

Ingredients

• Lamb chops (8 (about 1-inch thick))
• Fresh rosemary (2 tablespoons, chopped)
• Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
• Olive oil (1/4 cup)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each chop is well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach the right temperature for even cooking.
4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and discard any excess marinade to prevent flare-ups on the grill.
5. Grill the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time as needed for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision: aim for 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
6. Once grilled to perfection, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender bite.
7. Serve the grilled rosemary lamb chops alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy the delightful flavors!
