Preparation
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
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.

I made a paste of garlic, olive oil, pinch of sea salt and rosemary. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Removed from refrigerator and let stand for about 30 minutes and then grilled quickly on each side as indicated in the recipe. Very good.
I followed another reviewer's advice and rubbed the chops with a mixture of garlic, olive oil, kosher salt and crushed dried rosemary. They sat at room temperature for awhile, then were charcoal-grilled to medium-rare. Wow! The simplest and tastiest grilled lamb chops we've ever made.
Used the cast iron skillet at 500 degrees plus degrees about 4 minutes on each side. Put in the oven at 450 another 5 minutestill the chops reached 117 degrees. Deglazed pan with cognac, malbec, & swirled in some butter. Served with stuffed mushroons and spinach.
This was perfect!!! The Fresh Garlic paste made with Olive oil & Rosemary was a beautiful touch. I was so disappointed to lose those “garlicky crisps” on my BBQ rack that I tried grilling our veggies right on top of each bunker of flavor! This is going to be a regular Addition to our Dinner Menu!
Delicious. Nice a simple. Loved every bite!
This was perfect! Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
