These Garlic Herb Lamb Chops are marinated in a flavorful blend of olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and fresh herbs, then grilled to perfection for a delightful meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Use fresh herbs and zest for the most vibrant flavor.
Place the lamb chops in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor penetration.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Serve the lamb chops with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a beautiful presentation.
