Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • Garlic Mustard Marinade
  • Serves 16
  • 8 lamb chops
  • 8 pieces sliced from a rack of lamb
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of one lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt or sea salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Herb Lemon Marinade
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons
  • juice of one lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 2 fresh lemon thyme sprigs
  • 2 fresh sprigs of savory
  • Kosher salt or sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Aussie Lamb by removing them from the packaging and using paper towels to remove any excess moisture, then set it aside.
  • Season both sides of the lamb chops with freshly cracked black peppercorns and coarse sea salt. Allow the seasoned lamb chops to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  • Into a large pan with high sides, combine the marinade ingredients and mix. 
  • Place the seasoned lamb chops into the marinade then turn them over. Place a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap over the pan and allow the lamb to marinade between 3 to 5 hours for smaller cuts of lamb and 7 up to 24 hours for large cuts of lamb. 
  • Prepare the charcoal grill; the grill temperature should be between 375°F and 450°F.
  • Get the charcoal grill going, arrange the charcoal briquets on one side of the grill, creating both a hot-zone (direct heat) and a cooler zone (indirect heat). 
  • Use a wire brush to clean the grate if needed, then brush the grates with a high smoke point oil like canola or vegetable oil. 
  • Place the lamb chops directly onto the grate above the red-hot coals, sear the chops for 3-4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, turn the lamb chops over and move them to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid. Allow the lamb chops to cook for several more minutes or until you get the internal temperature you want — 120 degrees for rare, 125 medium-rare, 130 medium, and 145 for well-done. Sidebar: How long you will need to cook your lamb chops will vary depending on the thickness of the cut and the temperature of the grill, and your personal preference in regards to doneness. 
  • Remove the grilled lamb chops and transfer the grilled meat to a cutting board, allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes.
