Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the lamb chops in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy if needed. The internal temperature should read about 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of citrus flavor.
Enjoy your Greek-style barbecue lamb chops with a side of roasted vegetables, tzatziki sauce, or a fresh Greek salad!
