Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 lamb chops (rib or loin, about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine finely chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk these simple ingredients together until they form a fragrant, flavorful marinade that will infuse your lamb chops with aromatic goodness.
  2. Marinate the Lamb Chops: Place your lamb chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or for more depth, up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Get your grill nice and hot to medium-high temperature. A hot grill sears the lamb chops quickly, locking in juices and creating a beautiful caramelized crust that adds texture and flavor.
  4. Grill the Lamb Chops: Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Use tongs to flip them gently and avoid piercing the meat, which preserves juiciness.
  5. Rest and Serve: Once grilled to your liking, remove the lamb chops from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicy, tender meat that’s ready to impress.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Do not marinate lamb chops for more than 4 hours to avoid overpowering the natural flavor.
  • Let the lamb chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
  • Brush grill grates with olive oil before heating to prevent sticking.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer aiming for 130°F for medium-rare.
