Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse the meat. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off.
Step 6
Place the lamb chops on the grill, cooking each side for about 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops and desired level of doneness.
Step 7
For medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 135°F (57°C); for medium, 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, accompanied by a fresh salad or your favorite Mediterranean side dish.
