Grilled Lamb Chops with Rosemary

Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 quarter cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3. 3

   Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes before grilling.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Once the grill is hot, remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the lamb chops on the grill.

6. 6

   Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare. Flip the chops and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.

7. 7

   Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve the grilled lamb chops with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
