Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, 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 well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the lamb chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or broiler. If grilling, set to medium-high heat. If using a broiler, position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat to high.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
For grilling, place the lamb chops directly on the grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or add 1-2 minutes per side for medium or well-done. For broiling, place the lamb chops on a broiler pan and broil for the same amount of time on each side, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill or oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
