I love these herb-marinated lamb chops! The chops are marinated in a simple garlic and herb mixture, then seared until perfectly cooked, juicy, and succulent.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to fry
6 lamb chops, rib chops
Salt and pepper to season
Marinade:
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
½ tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano, Greek oregano preferably
lemon wedges to serve
How to make Herb Marinated Lamb Chops
Step 1: Generously season the chops with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, place the thyme, oregano, rosemary, mint, garlic, and olive oil. Mix well until blended.
Step 3: Over the lamb, pour the marinade. Massage the marinade into the meat and set aside for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4: Into a hot large skillet over high heat, drizzle the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, adjust the to medium-high. Add the chops and sear for about 3 minutes until the first side is well-browned. Flip the chops, and continue to sear the other side for additional 3 to 5 minutes until the internal temperature of the chops reach 57 degrees C or 135 degrees F for medium rare.
Step 5: To a warm plate, transfer the chops and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 6: Serve the lamb chops with lemon wedges on the side and with your fave side dishes. Enjoy!
Note:
To cook the BBQ, prepare the grill. For direct cooking, preheat the grill over medium heat. Lay the chops on the preheated grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until slightly charred, making sure to keep the lid closed. Before serving, let the chop rest for about 5 minutes. Then, serve with some lemon wedges on the side.
