Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let the lamb chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled lamb chops with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
