Ingredients
- 12 American lamb loin chops (1-inch thick) or lamb rib chops
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, grated or minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (is this 1 lemon)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 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 American lamb chops and let marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Heat grill to 500-degrees F and grill chops for 4-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reads 135-degrees, for medium-rare*.

Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
