Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the herb marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Seal the plastic bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate. Allow the lamb chops to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
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. Grill each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, adjusting the time as necessary for your desired doneness.
Remove lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving, to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately with your choice of sides.
