In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and place them in a dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate. Let the chops marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C). If using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat on your stovetop.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side if you prefer medium-rare, or longer if you want them more well-done. Use a meat thermometer if desired; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Once grilled to your preferred doneness, remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
Serve the grilled honey mustard lamb chops hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
