Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and gochugaru in a bowl to create the marinade.

  2. Step 2

    Pat lamb chops dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow dish and pour marinade over, turning to coat evenly. Let rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat (about 450°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  4. Step 4

    Grill lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, basting with any remaining marinade halfway through cooking.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer chops to a serving plate and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions, then serve immediately.
