Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to form a marinade.
Step 2
Place the lamb chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that all the chops are well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove lamb chops from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the lamb chops on the grill or pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness, ensuring nice grill marks are obtained.
Step 7
Let lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
