Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon (optional) fresh rosemary
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until the marinade is well blended.
Rinse the lamb chops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Reserve the marinade for brushing during cooking.
Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Brush with the reserved marinade occasionally for enhanced flavor.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a hearty salad.
