Remove the lamb chops from the packaging. If desired, clean them according to your preference, then pat them completely dry with paper towels. This helps the seasonings adhere and creates a better sear on the grill.
Brush both sides of the lamb chops with the olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with the Greek seasoning, then press the chopped garlic and fresh rosemary onto both sides of the chops until well coated.
Transfer the seasoned lamb chops to a shallow dish or resealable bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for even more flavor. About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the lamb from the refrigerator so it can come to room temperature for more even cooking.
Preheat the grill to 450°F (232°C) over medium-high heat. Place the lamb chops directly over the heat and grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Finish with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, then serve warm and enjoy!
- Flavor Tip: For the best flavor, marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes, but up to 2 hours if time allows.
- Before Grilling: Let the lamb chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling to help them cook more evenly.
- Preheat the grill to 450°F (232°C) and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Cooking Times: Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your lamb chops. For the most accurate results, use an instant-read meat thermometer rather than relying on time alone.
- Temperature: Remove the lamb chops from the grill when they are 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium. The temperature will continue to rise a few degrees as they rest.
- Before Serving: Allow the lamb chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving to help retain their juices.
