Want to know how to grill the perfect lamb chops every time? It's easier than you think. Lamb loin chops, shoulder chops or rib chops will all work with this garlic and lemon infused recipe.

Served Grilled Lamb Chops on a plate
Jump to Recipe

This recipe was inspired by my slow cooked Mediterranean Lamb Recipe. While the two recipes create different flavor profiles for the same type of protein, they are both Lamb...which I am obsessed with right now.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lamb Loin Chops 4 chops - this will work on any chops if you can't find loin chops.
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • salt to taste
  • pepper
  • ½ lemon

How to make the Loin Chops:

  • Mix the garlic and thyme into the olive oil.
  • Liberally salt and pepper the chops on all sides and lay flat on a plate. Drizzle the olive oil on both sides and allow to come to room temp (30-40 minutes).
  • Heat your grill to medium/high heat and place the chops and the lemon half on the grill. Grill chops on each side for 3-4 minutes until an internal temp reaches at least 130- 135F for medium rare. Squeeze the grilled (hot) lemon over your chops with tongs before transfering to a plate.Tip: Grill the sides for a couple of minutes too if your chops are extra thick.
  • Remove from the grill and tent with foil for about 10 minutes to rest. Serve.See post for serving suggestions.

Tips & FAQ's:

Here's the secret to tender lamb chops; Set a timer for three minutes per side. Don't try to "eyeball" grilled lamb or it'll get overdone every time.

And, use a meat thermometer. You don't have to eat your lamb rare but if the lamb chops are cooked to "well done" it gets chewy. 135F-145F is best.

The final secret - make sure you use enough salt. Without salt lamb tends to have that gamey taste I hear people complain about. ( I was a confirmed lamb hater until I discovered this trick).

What's good with the grilled lamb chops?

  • Low carb watermelon salad (4 net carbs!)
  • Smashed Cucumber Salad
  • Bacon Broccoli Salad
  • Broccoli Gratin
  • Creamy Brussels Sprouts

And the list goes on. But this recipe post doesn't.

If you like chops, try these smothered pork chops, they are tender and fantastic.

That's all for the Grilled Lamb Chops Recipe!

I know that your going to love this recipe. And, if you've been dragging your feet on getting a new grill, this one has been absolutely fantastic.

Not only is it perfect for backyard grilling but it easily folds up and goes to the beach, lake or the middle of the woods when we need to disconnect (which is more and more often this year).

Tata for now friends!
