Lemon Oregano Lamb Chops

By lorik

A glass dish is best for marinating the lamb chops. Acids, like lemon juice, can react to aluminum and give an “off” taste.

Basting the lamb chops with the marinade adds more flavor and prevents them from drying out.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil. Whisk together oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a baking dish for the marinade. Add chops to dish; marinate at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours, refrigerated), flipping occasionally.

Remove chops from marinade; reserve marinade. Grill chops covered, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part, but not touching bone, registers 135° for medium, basting with reserved marinade, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Serve chops with salad.
