Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds lamb chops, bone-in
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
Mint and Garlic Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint
Instructions
- Prepare the grill and season the lamb
Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking. Generously season lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides, ensuring even coverage for optimal flavor. - Make the sauce
In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: olive oil, minced garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, and chopped mint. Whisk well to integrate all flavors. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld. - Grill the lamb chops
Spray the grill pan with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking. Add the seasoned chops to the hot grill pan and sear for 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 2½ minutes for medium-rare or 3½ minutes for medium doneness. - Serve and enjoy
Transfer the grilled lamb chops to serving plates. Generously drizzle each chop with the prepared garlic and mint sauce, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor in every bite.
Notes
- For best results, bring lamb chops to room temperature before grilling.
- Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your lamb chops and desired doneness.
- Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
