Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Rub the marinade evenly over 8 lamb chops (about 2 lbs), coating all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to develop flavor.
  3. Step 3: Prepare a charcoal grill and allow coals to reach medium-high heat (about 500°F).
  4. Step 4: Place lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, and the exterior is nicely charred.
  5. Step 5: Remove lamb chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
