Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lamb loin chops (about 3 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together basil, marjoram, thyme, salt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Rub the marinade evenly over the lamb chops, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
  3. Broiling Method: Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack 4–6 inches from the heat. Place the lamb chops on a lined baking sheet and broil for 5–8 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
  4. Grilling Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side.
  5. Pan-Seared Method: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce heat and cook for another 2–3 minutes for extra tenderness.
  6. Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and lemon wedges.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Marinate overnight for maximum tenderness. Let the lamb rest after cooking to retain juices.
