Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano leaves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 1.5 lbs of lamb rib chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour the marinade over them, and coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove lamb chops from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the chops for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness, until nicely charred and juicy inside.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
