Step-by-step
- 1
Prep Your Lamb Chops
Pat chops dry with paper towels — surface moisture steams instead of sears. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Marinate in olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice: 30 minutes at room temp or up to 24 hours in the fridge. If refrigerated, pull them out 30 minutes before grilling to approach room temperature for even cooking. Wrap bone ends in foil to prevent burning.

Grill Lamb Chops
Preheat grill to medium-high (450°F). Lightly grease grates. Remove chops from marinade, shake off excess — leave any herb or garlic bits on. Place chops on grill and cook undisturbed to build sear marks. Flip once with tongs; don't press down. Timing per side: - Medium-rare: 2–3 min per side (125°F) - Medium: 3–4 min per side (130°F) - Well-done: 4–7 min per side For thick chops: sear 2 min per side on high, then reduce to medium and cook another 3 min per side. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part, away from bone. Total grill time: 6–10 minutes.

Rest, Check, and Serve
Pull chops at 130°F for medium. Transfer immediately to a plate and rest 5 minutes before cutting — this keeps juices in the meat, not on the board. Don't skip the rest, especially with lamb's leaner profile. Check temp with a thermometer; color alone isn't reliable. Avoid crowding the grill — it drops surface heat and kills your sear. If you used a garlic-herb marinade, warm the leftover in a small saucepan until bubbling and spoon it over the chops as a finishing sauce. Serve with roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, or lemon asparagus.
