Rosemary Garlic Grilled Lamb Chops are a flavorful and tender dish combining fresh rosemary, garlic, and lemon juice with perfectly grilled lamb chops. This simple yet elegant recipe is ideal for any occasion, offering a juicy inside with a smoky char outside and requiring minimal prep time for maximum taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Lamb Chops

  • 4–6 rib or loin lamb chops, about 1-inch thick

Marinade

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is well blended. This marinade will infuse the lamb chops with flavor while helping keep them tender as they cook.
  2. Marinate the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag, then pour the marinade over them. Make sure each chop is well coated. Refrigerate and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2 to 4 hours for maximum flavor penetration.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Properly preheating is crucial to achieving a good sear that locks in juices and gives you beautiful grill marks.
  4. Grill the Lamb Chops: Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill. Cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on chop thickness and preferred doneness. Avoid moving the chops too much to get a nice crust.
  5. Rest and Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the chops and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is succulent and flavorful.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, well-marbled lamb chops to ensure tenderness and flavor.
  • Allow chops to rest post-grilling to lock in juices and improve texture.
  • Use fresh rosemary for a brighter, more vibrant flavor compared to dried herbs.
  • Maintain medium-high grill heat to achieve a nice char without overcooking.
  • Brush olive oil on grill grates to prevent sticking and maintain grill marks.
