Ingredients
- 2 lbs lamb loin chops (8 lamb loin chops, 2/per person)
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves chopped
- 2 tsp dried oregano (See Note 1)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Zest the entire peel of the lemon and extract the juice. Put in a bowl and mix with the olive oil and melted butter, whisk to mix thoroughly.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, oregano, kosher salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Mix all and pour over lamb chops in bowl OR into a large sealable plastic bag, and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Prep your grill to 350°F (See Note 2). Grill to your liking, although for a nice medium with a little pink I do 3-4 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 130°F over medium heat.

Notes
- Or substitute 1 teaspoon of fresh oregano leaves, chopped.
- Can't grill? Use a cast iron skillet and cook them 3-4 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 130°F.
