Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
- Step 2: Place 8 lamb rib chops (about 1.5 lbs) in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove lamb chops from marinade, letting excess drip off.
- Step 4: Grill lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, turning once, until an internal temperature of 135°F is reached and the exterior is nicely charred.
- Step 5: Transfer chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
