Ingredients
Scale
- 8 lamb chops (or lamb steaks)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- Fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- External seasoning options: smoked paprika, garlic powder
Instructions
- Start by patting the lamb chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the marinade evenly onto both sides of each lamb chop. Place in a dish, add fresh rosemary and thyme, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2 hours for deep flavor).
- Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the lamb chaps, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your preferred doneness.
- In the last minute, squeeze lemon juice over the chops for a bright, zesty kick.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
Notes
- Marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor, or up to 2 hours for deeper seasoning.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Let the lamb rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain juices.
