Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges for serving
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Step 2

Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, making sure each chop is well coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the lamb chops for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they are charred on the outside and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Serve the Greek-style lamb chops with lemon wedges on the side and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
