Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops (bone-in)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  • Rub the mixture generously on both sides of the lamb chops.
  • Grilling Method: Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust based on preference).
  • Pan-Searing Method: Add a bit more olive oil to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Optional: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the cooked lamb chops before serving.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
  • Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
