Meat You'll Need
Preparation
- In a food processor add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until combined. Pour in olive oil and pulse into a paste. Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Remove from the refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium.
- Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Cooking Tips
Wondering how to prepare and grill your lamb chops perfectly? We’re letting you in on our secrets.
- For a flawless char, make sure your pan is ready over high heat before adding your lamb chops. You can insert a meat thermometer through the thickest part of your chops to check for consistency.
- Lamb chops are especially delicious when paired with a no-fuss rub. Ours, which includes garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, and cayenne pepper, accentuates the earthy taste of lamb. And it isn't too complicated that it takes the spotlight away from our expertly prepared meat.
- While the best way to enjoy your lamb chops is fresh off the pan or grill, you'll want to allow them enough time to rest before serving. We recommend letting your chops rest for about 5 minutes.
