Ingredients/Variations
These grilled Lamb Chops are easy to make and use simple ingredients!
MARINADE The marinade is a blend of fresh rosemary and thyme that’s been brightened up with lemon juice and then given a little kick from a bit of cayenne pepper. Salt, pepper, and olive oil make up the rest of this flavorful marinade!
LAMB CHOPS Delicious and tender lamb chops are marinated and then grilled until tender & juicy!
PRO TIP: Make sure to select chops that are about an inch thick so that you get a great sear without overcooking the center.
How To Make Lamb Chops
- Marinate: Marinate the chops for at least 2 hours, but you’ll get the best flavor if they’re marinated for at least 8 hours.
- Grill: Sear both sides of the chops on high heat then reduce the heat and cook until the desired internal temperature is reached.
Don’t feel like grilling? Make these lamb chops on the stovetop too!
Stovetop Directions: Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Using a cast-iron skillet is preferred, but stainless steel will also do. Sear each side of the chops for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until desired internal temperature is reached. Allow the meat to rest on a plate for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
How To Serve Them
Serve them the same way you might serve a steak – with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or even a delicious salad. With this recipe, I love serving them with basil pesto that’s had a bit of mint added in.
I love enjoying these with a glass of rum punch and following it up with a slice of decadent Mississippi mud pie!
