Ingredients
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.

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