Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 lamb rib chops (about 1 inch thick) to the marinade, turning to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove lamb chops from marinade and shake off excess.
  4. Step 4: Grill lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until nicely charred on the outside and medium-rare inside (internal temperature 135°F).
  5. Step 5: Let the chops rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
