Grilled Hoisin Lamb Loin Chops
Description
This recipe marinates lamb loin chops in a sauce dominated by hoisin, which lends a sweet-savory depth balanced by minced garlic, sesame oil, and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes. Marinating for at least 30 minutes allows the flavorful sauce to penetrate the meat. Grilling over medium heat creates a well-marked char and grill pattern, while turning the chops at intervals helps evenly cook them without overcooking, maintaining a pink, tender interior.
After grilling, the chops rest briefly to retain juices and are garnished with chopped cilantro for fresh herbal notes. The dish is designed to be served alongside simple steamed rice and vegetables, which complement the rich and tangy lamb flavors.
The recipe yields 10 to 12 chops depending on size, allowing flexibility in portioning for different group sizes.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds lamb loin chop 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick (See Note1)
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil
- red pepper flakes pinch
- 1/2 tsp black pepper cracked
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped (divided, lightly packed
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl whisk together the hoisin sauce, diced garlic, sesame oil and red and black peppers. Add lamb loin chops and half of chopped cilantro. Turn to coat or place all in a plastic bag and turn to coat. Allow to marinate at least 30 minutes or longer.
- Preheat grill to 350°F (medium heat). Clean and oil your grill.
- Grill 3 minutes, turn each chop 90 degrees for that nice char grill look, and cook for another 3 minutes. Turn the chops over and baste with any remaining hoisin sauce. Cook for about 6 more minutes, turning halfway through. They should still be pink inside. Remove the chops from the grill and place on a warm plate to rest. Sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro.
- Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
Notes
- The recipe yields 10 to 12 lamb loin chops, depending on their size.
