Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to form an herb marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 8 lamb chops in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for deep flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove lamb chops from marinade and let excess drip off.
  4. Step 4: Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until nicely charred on the outside and cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
