Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for best flavor.
Step 4
When ready to cook, preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the lamb from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Cook the lamb chops on the preheated grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Step 7
Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
