Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges for serving
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, making sure each chop is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the lamb chops for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they are charred on the outside and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the Greek-style lamb chops with lemon wedges on the side and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
