Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops
Marinade Ingredients
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh Rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. With a mortar and pestle, grind up the rosemary and thyme to release their flavor. You can also mince them with a knife or toss all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor and pulse.
  2. Add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Add the marinade and the lamb chops to a large zip-top bag and massage the marinade into the chops, making sure to completely cover them. Allow them to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. *Pull them out of the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
  4. Sear on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and cook on low until the chops reach an internal temperature of 135°F. If you like your lamb a little more done, heat to 140°F or 155°F. Allow the chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Stovetop Directions: Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Using a cast-iron skillet is preferred, but stainless steel will also work. Sear each side of the chops for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until desired internal temperature is reached. Allow the meat to rest on a plate for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
