Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let the lamb chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled lamb chops with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
