Steps:
- Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan over high heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the fire so that one side of the grill has more coals than the other - a "hot" side. If using a grill pan, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Rub the lamb chops with the garlic and season aggressively with salt and pepper. If grilling, place on the hot side for 2 minutes per side. Move the chops to the cooler side of the grill to cook through, an additional 6 to 7 minutes. If using a grill pan, grill one side for 2 minutes to sear, then turn over the chops and place the pan in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the grill or oven and allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH PEPPERCORNS AND SAVORY MINT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.8/5)
Provided by SippitySup
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Make the dipping sauce: Put 1/2 cup of the mint leaves in a heat-proof medium-sized glass or stainless-steel bowl. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, bring the water to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in the vinegar, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook 8 or 10 more minutes, until the sauce reduces some and gets slightly syrupy. Pour the mixture over the mint in the bowl. Let the sauce sit until completely cool. Finely mince the remaining mint leaves. Strain the sauce and add the minced mint. Make the chops: Heat the grill to medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and the lightly crushed peppercorns, and grill until barely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve warm or at room temperature with the reserved dipping sauce and mint sprigs if desired.
Tips:
- Select high-quality lamb chops for the best flavor: look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat.
- Marinate the lamb chops in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, spices, and herbs: this will help tenderize the chops and infuse them with flavor.
- Sear the lamb chops over high heat: this will create a nice crust and help lock in the juices.
- Reduce the heat and continue cooking the lamb chops until they reach your desired doneness: use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Serve the lamb chops with a flavorful sauce or condiment: this will enhance the flavor of the chops and make them even more enjoyable.
