INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground, to taste

  • 4 thick (3/4-inch) American lamb shoulder chops

DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl combine the olive oil, oregano, dill, mint, garlic, lemon zest + juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Take the marinade and pour into a large Ziploc bag. Add the lamb shoulder chops to the bag, seal, and then gently massage the marinade into the lamb. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Heat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill heats bring your lamb shoulder chops to room temperature. Next, place the chops on the grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once the chops have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, you will need to let them rest for a minimum of 3 minutes to finish cooking. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
