Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 8 lamb rib chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Remove chops from marinade and grill for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  4. Step 4: Let lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
