🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Give it a good scrub to make sure it's clean! You don't want any surprises lurking there.
- Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. This helps them sear properly and achieve a nice crust.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Give it a good stir.
- Generously brush the herb mixture onto both sides of the lamb chops. Make sure they are completely coated. This is where the magic happens.
- Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Medium rare is around 130-135°F (54-57°C), Medium is around 140-145°F (60-63°C). Remember, its always better to err on the side of slightly undercooked rather than overcooked!.
- Use tongs to carefully flip the lamb chops. Baste with the remaining herb mixture during grilling to add flavor and moisture. Try to keep basting evenly. This keeps those chops from drying out.
- Once the lamb chops reach your desired internal temperature, remove them from the grill. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat. Trust me on this one, resting your meat is a game-changer!
- Serve immediately. A simple side salad or some roasted vegetables pair beautifully with these delicious lamb chops. Enjoy! Let me know what you think in the comments below!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Dont over marinade though, you may end up with mushy meat! Aim for about 30 mins to 2 hrs.
- Adjust grilling time depending on the thickness of your lamb chops and your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked to your liking. Safety first! Make sure your meat is cooked to a safe temperature.
