Ingredients
8 lamb chops (about 1-inch thick)
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Marinate the Lamb: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb chops, making sure they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more profound flavor.
- Preheat the Grill (or Skillet): Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a bit of olive oil to coat the bottom lightly.
- Cook the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. Lamb chops should have a nice sear on the outside while still being pink in the center.
- Rest Before Serving: Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful.
- Serve: Serve the lamb chops warm, optionally garnishing with additional fresh rosemary for a burst of flavor and a touch of elegance.
