Grilled Lamb Chops
Instructions
1. Purchase lamb chops that are at least 1-inch to 1-1/2 inches thick, with bright red color and abundant marbling.
2. Bring chops to room temperature removing them from refrigerator at least 2 hours prior to cooking. This will prevent over-charring or taking too long to cook.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Preheat gas grill to high.
5. Place lamb chops on very hot grill and close lid. This will help chops cook from all angles and sear in juices.
6. Cook lamb chops with lid down for 34 minutes. Flip chops over (at 4 minutes) using grilling tongs. Do not use a fork as it will let out all of the juices you are trying to keep in.
7. Close lid, grilling lamb chops until preferred doneness.
8. Use the hand trick to determine doneness of your grilled lamb chops.
* Medium rare: should feel like the base of your thumb spongy with a little bit of give.
* Medium: should feel like the middle of your palmfirmer.
