Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to make a herb marinade.
- Step 2: Rub this marinade evenly over 8 lamb rib chops (about 1 inch thick), cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to infuse flavors.
- Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove lamb chops from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Step 4: Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness, turning once to develop a nice crust.
- Step 5: Transfer chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
