๐Ÿ– Tender lamb rib chops marinated in a yogurt-based Mediterranean blend with garlic, lemon, and herbs.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Ready for the grill in minutes, delivering juicy, flavorful meat that fits keto, paleo, and Whole30 diets.

  • Total Time: About 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 lamb rib chops (about 1 inch thick)

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1-Whisk the marinade: Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes; whisk until uniform.

2-Coat the chops: Place lamb chops in a dish or bag, pour marinade over, and massage to coat all sides evenly.

3-Marinate the meat: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours, flipping occasionally; avoid over-marinating to prevent mushiness.

4-Preheat your grill: Heat grill to medium-high (around 400ยฐF), clean and oil grates.

5-Grill the chops: Remove chops from marinade, grill 4-5 minutes per side (longer for thick chops) to an internal temperature of 135ยฐF for medium-rare.

6-Rest the meat: Transfer to a platter and rest 5 minutes; temperature rises to about 140ยฐF and juices redistribute.

7-Garnish and serve: Squeeze fresh lemon and sprinkle chopped parsley over chops before serving.

Notes

๐ŸŒฟ Use half a teaspoon of dried rosemary instead of fresh if that is what you have available, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
โฐ Do not marinate longer than 4 hours or the yogurt enzymes will create a mushy texture in the lamb.
๐ŸŒก๏ธ Always use an instant-read thermometer to check for 135ยฐF internal temperature for perfect medium-rare results.
