Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels and arrange in a shallow dish.

  3. Step 3

    Pour marinade over chops, turning to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F). Oil the grate to prevent sticking.

  5. Step 5

    Remove chops from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  6. Step 6

    Grill chops for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130–135°F).

  7. Step 7

    Transfer to a warm plate and rest for 2 minutes before serving.
