My favorite thing to cook on the beach is grilled lamb chops (also one of my favorite things to eat, come to think of it). Now, that may sound a bit odd at first, but think about it: They’re small, they cook quickly, and they’re easy to eat out of hand. Yeah, that’s right, no need for a knife and fork here. Just grab one by the bone and go for it.
| Yield: | Makes 12 Lamb Chops |
Ingredients
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 lamb chops
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, oregano, and garlic powder. Generously season each side of the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Add to the lemon juice mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill the lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly charred on one side. Flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer for medium-rare to medium doneness. Serve hot.

I still keep using this recipe. I find it is the easiest one to prep the lamb. Doing it again and again. My husband says don’t lose that recipe ever.
I used this receipt many times. Never fails to please!
Great recipe and easy to make. YUMMY!! Family loves it – my picky Greek family 🙂
A must
Such a delicious and easy dinner. The marinade is what really makes these lamb chops so good. Everyone loved it as well! All of Katie’s recipes never fail
Delicious! Will make this again for sure.
Very easy marinade with a lot of flavor. Made this for my tailgating group and they loved it. Can grill chips ahead and re-warm at the game.
