Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well to create the herb marinade.
2. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the herb marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated.
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, preheat by lighting all burners and cover to heat for about 10 minutes.
5. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
7. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 145°F (63°C), and for medium, aim for 160°F (71°C).
8. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
9. Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
