Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.

Step 2

Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place the lamb chops into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the mustard and orange marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet 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

Grill or sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the lamb chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
