Grilled Shoulder Lamb Chops With Garlic-Rosemary Marinade image

This is my favorite recipe for lamb chops-- few ingredients, simple preparation, great flavor. Shoulder lamb chops are less expensive than other lamb chops, but I think they're just as delicious. Can also be grilled on a gas grill. (from Cook's Illustrated)

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large garlic cloves, pureed (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 shoulder lamb chops, about 3/4 inch thick (blade or round bone)
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Mix marinade ingredients in small bowl. Rub both sides of each chop with the paste; let stand at least 30 minutes. (Can be refrigerated overnight.).
  • FOR CHARCOAL GRILL:.
  • Heat enough coals to cover surface area large enough for four chops. Once coals are covered with gray ash, spread them, set grill rack in place, and cover grill with lid in order to heat rack, about 5 minutes. Or heat oven broiler.
  • Sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Position chops over hot coals. Grill until bottom of each chop is well browned, about 2 minutes. (If chops start to flame, pull off heat for a moment or extinguish flames with squirt bottle.) Turn each chop and cook about 2 more minutes for medium-rare or 2 1/2 minutes for medium. If broiling, position chops 2 to 3 inches from heating element and cook about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes each side for medium.
  • FOR GAS GRILL:.
  • Turn all burners on grill to high, close lid, and heat until grill is very hot, about 15 minutes. Leave one burner on high and turn other burner(s) down to medium.
  • Rub chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill chops, covered, over hotter part of grill, turning them once, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Move chops to cooler part of grill and continue grilling, turning once, to desired doneness, about 6 minutes for rare (about 120 degrees on instant-read thermometer), about 8 minutes for medium (about 130 degrees), or about 10 minutes for well-done (140 to 150 degrees).
  • Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

PAN-GRILLED LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Four 8- to 12-ounce lamb shoulder chops

Steps:

  • To make the marinade: whisk the lemon juice, mustard, rosemary, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the salt together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil and season with pepper.
  • Transfer the marinade to a large sealable plastic bag. Put the lamb chops in the bag, seal, and shake vigorously to evenly coat the meat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 12.
  • Remove the chops from the marinade and transfer them to a plate. Discard the marinade. Using a spoon, lightly scrape the remaining marinade off the chops and pat them dry.
  • Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Season the chops with salt. Place 2 chops on the grill pan, and cook until the chops have distinctive grill marks, about 3 minutes. To make crosshatched grill marks, re-position the chops, moving them about 45 degrees on the ridged pan, and continue to cook about 3 minutes more. (The chops will have only cooked on one side at this point.) Set the chops aside and repeat with the remaining 2 chops. Return the first set of chops to the pan to cook them on the other side. Reduce the heat to medium low, and cook the chops until medium-rare, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the other chops. Let the chops rest for about 5 minutes and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh dill, finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves cut into chiffonade
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch kosher salt
4 thick (3/4-inch) lamb shoulder chops

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, oregano, dill, mint, garlic, lemon zest and juice, red pepper flakes and salt in a small bowl to form a thick paste. Slather on the lamb chops. Marinate the chops at room temperature up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If the lamb was in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature before grilling.
  • Preheat the grill to medium. When the grill is hot, brush the grates with a wire grill brush to loosen any crud. Wipe the grates with an oiled side towel to pick up any loose soot or crud.
  • Arrange the lamb chops on the grill. Do not move the chops for 2 to 3 minutes to allow lovely grill marks to form. Rotate the chops 90 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chops and repeat the process. Remove the chops from the grill to a platter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
