Lamb Chops

Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Lamb Chops

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb chops, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

2

Prepare the Port Wine Demi

In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in port wine and beef stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Add thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter until melted and smooth.

3

Grill the Lamb Chops

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated lamb chops for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

4

Serve

Serve the grilled lamb chops drizzled with port wine demi sauce alongside your choice of two sides.
