Ingredients

  • 8 American lamb rib chops (3/4 inches thick)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic grated or minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh Rosemary chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt & pepper in a small bowl.

Pour the mixture over the lamb chops and let marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Heat grill to 500 degrees F and grill chops for 2-4 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reads 135 degrees F, for medium-rare.

Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Grill Pan: Cook on medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes per side.
