Steps:
- For the Mint Yogurt Marinade - chop the mint, mince the garlic, squeeze the lemon juice and mix the ingredients together. Cover the lamb chops completely. This marinade also tenderizes, so do not use it overnight - 2 to 3 hours is ideal.
- For the Spiced Dark Ale Marinade - first soak the star anise in the ale for 5 minutes then add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until combined. Cover the lamb chops with the marinade.
- For the Greek Marinade - chop the oregano (or use the dried version) and mince the garlic. Mix all the ingredients and rub all over the lamb chops.
SUPER SIMPLE LAMB MARINADE
This is such a simple marinade, so easy to prepare and best of all - it's done in a big zip-lock bag, so there's no mess to clean up. It's great for grilling or for roasting. I use it on any cut of lamb. I'm splurging on two 1-pound pre-frenched racks of lamb from "New Zealand Fresh Lamb" for our anniversary. It makes enough for about 2 - 2 1/2 pounds of lamb. You can always vary the few spices in it to suit your taste.

MARINADE FOR LAMB
Steps:
- Combine the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and thyme and pour over meat (see note). Turn to coat evenly and allow to marinate two hours at room temperature, turning occasionally.
- Drain the meat before broiling.
- After broiling, remove the meat to a platter. Carefully remove as much fat as possible (but not juices) from the broiling pan and, placing it over a top burner, add a little water and stir to loosen all browning. Add dill, salt and pepper and boil briefly. Turn off heat, add butter to taste, stir until melted and pour over meat.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: For this marinade, it's best to use a boneless, skinless leg of lamb. This cut is relatively lean and has a good amount of marbling, which will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Make sure the lamb is at room temperature before marinating: This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat more evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice. You can adjust the proportions of each ingredient to suit your own taste.
- Marinate the lamb for at least 2 hours, but no longer than 24 hours: This will give the marinade time to work its magic and tenderize the meat.
- Cook the lamb over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the lamb rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
This super simple lamb marinade is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your next lamb dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your lamb taste delicious. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook lamb, give this marinade a try. You won't be disappointed!
