Print Recipe

A simple and flavorful grilled lamb chops recipe featuring a rosemary garlic marinade that tenderizes the meat and infuses it with herbaceous, smoky notes. Perfect for summer BBQs and quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bone-in rib lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine rosemary, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and optional Dijon mustard. Whisk until well-emulsified and fragrant.
  2. Trim and season the lamb chops: Pat chops dry and trim excess fat if desired. Add chops to the bowl or resealable bag and toss to coat evenly with marinade.
  3. Marinate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight. Bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling.
  4. Preheat the grill: Light charcoal or preheat gas grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the lamb chops: Cook chops for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
  6. Rest the chops: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes tented with foil.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Marinate lamb chops overnight for best flavor and tenderness. Let meat come to room temperature before grilling. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Oil grill grates well to prevent sticking. Rest meat after grilling to keep it juicy.
