Ingredients/Variations
These grilled Lamb Chops are easy to make and use simple ingredients!
MARINADE The marinade is a blend of fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme that’s been brightened up with lemon juice and then given a little kick from a bit of cayenne pepper. Add a little lemon zest for an extra lemony kick.
LAMB CHOPS Delicious and tender lamb loin chops are marinated and then grilled until tender & juicy!
How To Cook Lamb Chops
- Marinate: Marinate the chops for at least 2 hours, but you’ll get the best flavor if they’re marinated for at least 8 hours.
- Grill: Sear both sides of the chops on high heat then reduce the heat and cook until the desired internal temperature is reached (per the recipe below).
Lamb Chop Grilling Temperatures
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to get the perfect cook on the lamb chops.
Medium Rare 135°F – Dark pink center
Medium 145°F – Pink center
Medium Well 155°F – Browned center with very little pink
Don’t feel like grilling? Make these lamb chops on the stovetop too! Sear each side of the chops in a hot cast iron skillet for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until desired internal temperature is reached.
Allow the meat to rest on a plate for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
Serving Lamb Chops
Sides: Serve them the same way you might serve a steak – with roasted vegetables, corn ribs, braised carrots, mashed potatoes, or even a delicious salad.
Sauce: Try basil pesto that’s had a bit of mint added in or Chimichurri Sauce.
Leftovers? Store cooked lamb in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

-
With a mortar and pestle, grind up the rosemary and thyme to release their flavor. You can also mince them with a knife or toss all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor and pulse.
-
Add the ground herbs, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and olive oil to a small bowl and stir to combine.
-
Add the marinade and the lamb chops to a large zip top bag and massage the marinade into the meat making sure to completely cover them. Allow them to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. *Pull them out of the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
-
Sear on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and cook on low until the chops reach an internal temperature of 135°F. If you like your lamb a little more done, heat to 140°F or 155°F. Allow the chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Stovetop Directions: Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Using a cast-iron skillet is preferred, but stainless steel will also work. Sear each side of the chops for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until desired internal temperature is reached. Allow the meat to rest on a plate for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
