Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 scallions
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the marinade: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Add both to the marinade along with the black pepper. Stir to incorporate.
Place the lamb chops in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor).
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade.
Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. While grilling, baste the lamb with the reserved marinade using a brush.
Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the heat and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely slice the scallions and toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat until golden and fragrant.
Garnish the lamb chops with the sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy!
