Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 8 lamb chops rib or loin cuts preferred

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Marinate the Lamb: Place the lamb chops in a zip-top bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat (450-500°F) and lightly oil the grates.
  • Grill the Lamb Chops: Remove the lamb from the marinade and let excess drip off. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or up to 6 minutes for medium.
  • Rest and Serve: Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with tzatziki, Greek salad, or lemon potatoes.

Notes

  • Don’t over-marinate! The acidity from the lemon can break down the meat if left too long.
  • Use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • No grill? Sear the chops in a hot cast-iron skillet for 3-4 minutes per side.
