Unlike a lamb roast that takes a long time to prepare and cook, these lamb chops cook up quickly. These grilled lamb chops can be cooked on an outdoor grill, inside with a cast iron skillet, or under the broiler in your oven. Exact cooking times will vary depending on your preparation. Did you know that lamb is sometimes called “land salmon” because it has so much Omega-3 fatty acids? It also has the highest amount of DHA of any land animal. Lamb isn’t as popular in the United States as it is in many other countries. Hopefully this tasty lamb chop recipe will help you make this nutritious meat a more regular part of your menu. =)
Grilled herbed lamb chops ingredients
1 tablespoon dried herbs de Provence or dried rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh herb of choice such as rosemary or thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dry white wine such as pinot grigio or chardonnay (can omit and sub for chicken broth, but it will affect the flavor profile)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
8 1” thick lamb loin chops, trimmed or eases fat
Cooking spray or olive oil for pan. I use spray avocado oil.
How to make easy herbed lamb chops
For grill: preheat on medium-high heat. For pan seared lamb chops: Preheat a cast iron skilled on medium-high heat. For oven roasted lamb chops: Heat broiler to high. Lightly brush pan with olive oil or spay with oil. I prefer avocado oil because it has a high smoke point. In a small bowl, combine fresh and dried herbs, mustard, olive oil, wine, garlic, and salt. Mix well. Brush mixture evenly over all sides of lamb. A silicone brush is best, but you can spoon the mixture if you don’t have a brush. Place lamb chops on grill or in pan. Grill or broil 4 minutes on each side, cooking to desired degree of doneness. Medium rare is about 135º F and medium is 150ºF. I use an instant read thermometer to check doneness. Lamb chops are shown medium rare - I cook with lamb I personally raised so I’m fine with eating it medium rare. Serve and enjoy! I recommend serving these lamb chops with a fresh garden salad and hot crusty bread. Don’t get olive oil on your phone!
