    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    The warmer months are here and it is time to get out your grill. This american Lamb chop- tender and warm with it;s herb and savory flavors, is the perfect meat to grill! This Grilled Lamb Chop Recipe is going to be the biggest hit!

    This post is sponsored by The American Lamb Board. Recipe is our own. 

    WHY SHOULD I GRILL LAMB?

    Lamb is a nice and tender meat, and when you pair it with the fast heat of the grill creating a nice salty savory crust and perfect juicy inside it really cannot be beat. Marinate it a few hours in herbs and garlic and the flavor + texture is out of this world.

    WHAT CUT OF LAMB DO I  BUY?

    For this recipe I prefer a larger lamb shoulder chop, and bone in.

    CHECK OUT AMERICANLAMB.COM

    Head over to  americanlamb.com to see how grilling lamb this summer could win you a $500 Cabela's gift card and a bunch of fresh lamb!

    MARINATE YOUR LAMB

    Marinating your meat is more than adding flavor and spice-  it also tenderizes it. The acid in lemon juice breaks down the meat so when you bite into it it is super tender. The oil helps keep juices in. The Garlic and herbs add tons of flavor to every bite.

    WHAT DO I MARINATE MY LAMB IN

    • LEMON
    • CUMIN
    • OREGANO
    • GARLIC
    • OLIVE OIL

    MAKE YOUR CHIMICHURRI FOR THE GRILLED LAMB RECIPE

    Chop up your herbs and ingredients and place them in a bowl to merry.

    Add your

    • Parsley
    • Garlic
    • Red Wine Vinegar
    • Lemon juice
    • sea salt
    • olive oil

    GRILL YOUR LAMB

    Now that the lamb has marinated (for at least an hour) it's time to grill. Preheat your grill too high. When hot, place your lamb on the grill for about 5-8minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-8 minutes. You want nice grill lines and crust formed on the lamb. Double check the internal temp of the lamb. When it is just about 145 remove from the grill.

    LET YOUR LAMB REST FOR AT LEAST 3-20 MINUTES

    As your lamb rests for about 20 minutes after it reaches 145 degrees- it will continue to cook for a few minutes. By allowing the lamb to rest, the moisture is reabsorbed and your meat will be tender and juicy.

    ADD YOUR CHIMICHURRI AS THE LAMB RESTS

    While the lamb is still hot add a good helping of chimichurri. The herbs and garlic will infuse into the meat.

    After the lamb rests slice and serve!

    WHAT DO I SERVE WITH GRILLED LAMB?

    Some delicious sides to serve with this grilled lamb chop recipe are

    • rice pilaf
    • grilled potato salad
    • hot grilled pita bread
    • grilled veggies

    CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD?

    You can marinate the lamb ahead of time and make the chimichurri, but don't grill until you are ready to serve.
