How To Cook Lamb Chops

  • Marinate: Marinate the chops for at least 2 hours, but you’ll get the best flavor if they’re marinated for at least 8 hours.Grill: Sear both sides of the chops on high heat then reduce the heat and cook until the desired internal temperature is reached (per the recipe below).

Don’t feel like grilling? Make these lamb chops on the stovetop too! Sear each side of the chops in a hot cast iron skillet for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until desired internal temperature is reached.

Flavor Tip!

Make sure your chops are about 1-inch thick. Thicker chops mean you can get a great sear without overcooking the meat. The caramelized bits on the outside add so much flavor.
