Lamb Chops

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    Place the lamb chops in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for best flavor).

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb Chops

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill or pan-sear the chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Lamb Chops

    Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
