Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 to 12 (2-inch thick) T-bone lamb chops
2 sprigs fresh mint, torn or roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh parsley, torn or roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, torn roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme, torn or roughly chopped
1 bay leaf
1 lemon, cut in half and squeezed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 rounds freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for grilling
2 cups pitted kalamata olives
3 tablespoons orange zest
3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, rinsed and patted dry
1 anchovy fillet, packed in oil
1 small Anaheim chile, seeded, membrane removed and finely minced
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon orange juice
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup torn fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the marinade: With a sharp knife, clean the chops, trimming away the excess fat cap and any bone fragments. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mint, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, bay leaf, salt and pepper with the olive oil. Place the lamb chops into large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top. Marinate for up to an hour.
  • For the tapenade: In a food processor, pulse together the olives, orange zest, parsley, anchovy and chile until coarsely chopped. Drizzle in the olive oil and orange juice while continuing to pulse for about a minute, until the ingredients are incorporated and the tapenade is a coarse paste. Do not over process. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the t-bone lamb chops: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Using tongs and an oil-blotted paper towel, wipe down the grill grates to clean and create a nonstick surface. Remove the lamb from the marinade, wiping off excess, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chops onto grill, fat-side down. Grill for about 2 minutes and rotate 45 degrees to form a crosshatch mark. Continue grilling for another 2 minutes and flip. Rotate the lamb chops 45 degrees to finish and bring to desired cooking temperature, 5 to 6 minutes total for 135 degrees F internal temperature or medium-rare. Remove from the grill and allow to rest.
  • To serve: Arrange the lamb chops on serving dish, garnishing each with about 1 tablespoon tapenade, finishing with torn mint and serving with remaining tapenade on the side.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Fresh Herbs image

Enjoy fresh herbs with these grilled lamb chops. I used what was in my garden: mint, rosemary, parsley, and chives. You may use whatever combination you like! Lamb is very delicate and will stay tender and tasty at medium-rare. Lamb chops grill very quickly, so watch them closely.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 (5 ounce) lamb loin chops, about 1 1/4-inches thick
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
½ tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
½ tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat down to 1/8-inch around each lamb chop and sprinkle both sides with seasoning salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grate once the grill is hot.
  • Place lamb chops on the hot grate and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops, to achieve crisscross grill marks, and continue grilling, 2 to 3 more minutes. Flip the chops and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops and continue grilling an additional 2 minutes, or until they have reached desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
  • Remove chops from grill and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Allow to rest under foil, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Opt for chops that are fresh, evenly colored, and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the lamb chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help tenderize and flavor them.
  • Grill the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: Allowing the lamb chops to rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
