Ingredients of Grilled Lamb Chops
8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions for making Grilled Lamb Chops:
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, ground black pepper, sea salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Marinate the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing and covered with a light layer of ash.
Grill the Lamb Chops: Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chops on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or 4-5 minutes for medium, depending on the thickness of the chops and your preferred doneness.
Rest the Chops: Once grilled to your desired level of doneness, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite.
Serve: Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Pair them with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or roasted potatoes.
Tips:
For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the marinade.
If you prefer, you can also use dried herbs instead of fresh, but reduce the amount by half since dried herbs are more concentrated.
