Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 2-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ cup Olive oil
  • 6-8 lamb chops

Instructions

  • Add 2-4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice to a bowl. Whisk the ingredients together with enough olive oil to form a paste-like consistency.

  • Add 6-8 lamb chops to a zip-lock plastic bag (or platter or baking pan) and coat with the marinade so all of the lamb is covered. Press the air out of the bag and rest it on a platter or in a baking pan (or cover with plastic wrap tightly if using a pan). Refrigerate to let it marinate for at least 12 hours or up to overnight.

  • When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the fridge and from the marinade bag. Let them come to room temperature by resting out of the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
    In the meantime, heat your grill to high heat (450°F to 500°F). Sear the lamb chops for 5 minutes over direct heat, then flip and grill for another 5 minutes.

  • Move the lamb chops to indirect heat on the opposite side of the grill, then grill for an additional 3-5 minutes. Your lamb chops will be medium-rare. Leave on for longer and follow the temperature chart below if you want them cooked more.

Notes

  • Marinating time: Lamb will need to marinate for at least 1 hour to up to overnight before grilling. Allow the lamb to rest for 20 minutes outside of the refrigerator to come to room temperature before you cook it.
  • For more flavor, try adding a pat of our garlic butter sauce at the end. Yum!
  • Always use a meat thermometer for best results when cooking meat.
  • Cut against the grain when slicing lamb. Just like beef, lamb has a grain that gives you the most tender cuts of meat when you cut against it.
  • Lamb temperature chart: 
    • Medium-rare: 145˚F after resting
    • Medium: 150˚F to 155˚F after resting
    • Well-done: 160˚F to 165˚F after resting
