The Secret to Tender, Juicy Lamb Chops

Let's face it, nobody wants dry, tough lamb chops. And to make sure they are juicy and melt in your mouth, well, we need a little help from our friends-salt and pepper! Don't be shy, we're going for bold flavor here. Season those chops liberally with salt and pepper about 30 minutes before grilling. That little trick works its magic-allowing the salt to draw moisture out of the lamb, and then reabsorbing it-which makes all that difference. Trust me, this little simple step does it!

Paleo Grilling Master's Toolkit

No crazy tools needed for this one! Grab your favorite grill, either gas or charcoal, and let's fire it up. You want your grill hot, hotter, HOTTER-literally blazing hot at about 450°F (232°C) for a nice sear. You can check that with a grill thermometer, but if you don't have one, just use your hand above the grate-if you can't hold it there for more than a second, you're good to go. Now, before laying those precious chops on the grill, lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil. This will prevent the chops from sticking to the grates and give them a beautiful grill mark.

The Art of the Perfect Grill Mark

Ah, listen up, because this is where the magic happens! Get those lamb chops ready to go and lay them on the hot grill. Don't flip until 4 minutes have passed and probably even 5! This is all about perfect sear, where once that underside turns golden brown and beautifully caramelized, the gentle flipping of the chops reveals their other side. They will need only another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remember, we're looking for medium-rare, so no overcooking! And if you're really feeling adventurous, you can use your tongs to lift the chops slightly during the last minute of grilling, to get a bit of that delicious char.

The Grand Finale: Rest and Enjoy

Just because they are done does not mean they are ready for your plate. Make an effort to resist temptation and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to re-distribute with the meat, making them even more flavorful. While those chops are resting, think of what you want to pair them with. I also love roasted asparagus with a squeeze of lemon or just a simple salad with a light vinaigrette. Options are endless!
