When it comes to backyard cooking, few dishes are as show-stopping as grilled lamb chops. They’re bold, flavorful, and just upscale enough to impress your guests without the stress of a complicated recipe.
But here’s the thing: great lamb chops start long before they hit the grill. It’s in the trimming, the marinating, the clean cuts, and the final slice at the table. And for all of that, you need the right blade in hand.
What You’ll Need for the Lamb Chops
-
8–10 lamb chops, Frenched if possible
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
-
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
Salt and cracked pepper
-
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
Method
-
Make the marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice/zest, garlic, rosemary, mustard, and seasoning.
-
Trim the chops: Clean up excess fat or sinew for a cleaner grill and better texture.
-
Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).
-
Grill over high heat, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
-
Rest, then serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of finishing salt.
