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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving, to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately with your choice of sides.
