Grilled Lamb Chops with Rosemary Salt image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
8 frenched lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

Steps:

  • Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • In the meantime, mix the flaky sea salt, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. Work the mixture with your fingers, releasing the oils from the zest and rosemary. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place on the direct heat side of the grill. Char on both sides and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 minutes. If the lamb chops become too charred, but the internal temperature is still low, move them to the indirect heat side of the grill to finish cooking.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon rosemary salt before serving.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 loin lamb chops, each about 1 -inch thick
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, very finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops. Place them in a single layer in a dish.
  • Mix the vinegar, oil, anchovy paste, rosemary and garlic together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the lamb chops, turning them over in the dish, then turning them back again so both sides become lightly coated with marinade. Cover and allow to marinate at room temperature for one hour.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler to very hot.
  • Grill or broil the lamb chops as close as possible to the source of heat so they become seared and brown on the outside but still pink in the middle - six to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill. Serve at once, garnished with sprigs of rosemary.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and rosemary will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Grill the lamb chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit; for medium, cook to 145 degrees Fahrenheit; and for well-done, cook to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become more tender.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon and rosemary lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The lamb chops are tender and flavorful, and the lemon and rosemary add a bright and herbaceous flavor. Serve the lamb chops with grilled vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
