Ingredients

  • 8-10 lamb rib chops
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
For the marinade
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste, Diamond Crystal brand
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If required, cut the rack of lamb into individual rib chops. Season the chops with kosher salt on both sides.
  2. Combine all of the marinade ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Place the rib chops into a sealable bag and pour half of the marinade on to them. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight. Save the other half of the marinade to use as a serving sauce.
  4. Remove the lamb chops from the fridge at least 45 minutes before grilling.
  5. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temp of 130-135f.
  6. Serve the chops immediately with the reserved 1/2 cup of serving sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.  Costco has the best price for Frenched lamb racks. 
  • Half of the marinade is to be saved "before touching the meat" and can be used as a serving sauce.
  • Rib chops are best eaten right away after grilling.  Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge.
