Ingredients
  • 8 lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds / 907g)
    • Marinade:
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp (1g) fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp (28g) olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges and fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. In a baking dish, combine the lamb loin chops with the marinade ingredients, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally, overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Allow the chops to reach room temperature before grilling.
  3. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C) for medium-well doneness, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
  4. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the chops juicy. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh rosemary sprigs.
Recipe Notes

Lamb chops are best when cooked to medium-rare or medium to retain their tenderness and flavor.
