Prep Time10 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time20 mins
12 American lamb loin chops (1in thick) or lamb rib chops
0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
6 Garlic cloves, grated or minced
2 tbsp Fresh rosemary, minced
2 tbsp Lemon juice
Zest of lemon
1.50 tsp Kosher salt
0.50 tsp Black pepper
1Combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt & pepper in a small bowl.
2Pour the mixture over the lamb chops and let marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
3Heat grill to 500-degrees and grill chops for 4-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reads 145-degrees, followed by a 3 minute rest.
4This recipe pairs nicely with root vegetables, like roasted carrots, but you can keep the traditional barbecue flavors alive with some potato salad and a glass of pinot noir on the side. You can also include a freshly prepared sauce for the lamb, such as pistachio basil pesto.
