Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the lamb chops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside on a plate.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary leaves. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the lamb chops, making sure to coat both sides. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If you're using a stovetop grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness).
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops warm, garnished with additional fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
