Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 8-10 lamb rib chops
  • 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal Kosher salt

For the marinade

  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon minced rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • If required, cut the rack of lamb into individual rib chops. Season the chops with kosher salt on both sides.
  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Place the rib chops into a sealable bag and pour half of the marinade on to them. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight. Save the other half of the marinade to use as a serving sauce.
  • Remove the lamb chops from the fridge at least 45 minutes before grilling.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temp of 130-135f.
  • Serve the chops immediately with the reserved 1/2 cup of serving sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.  Costco has the best price for Frenched lamb racks. 
  • Half of the marinade is to be saved "before touching the meat" and can be used as a serving sauce.
  • Rib chops are best eaten right away after grilling.  Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge.
