Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Place the lamb chops in a large shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F). If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the hot grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness (145°F for medium-rare).
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and transfer them to a plate. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately, garnished with fresh rosemary if desired, alongside your favorite sides.
