This Greek Lamb Chop Recipe is the perfect recipe for a go-to marinade you'll want to make again and again.

Ingredients

  • ½ cupolive oil
  • 1 tspsalt
  • ½ tsppepper
  • ¾ tspdried oregano
  • 8 smalllamb loin or rib chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • ¼ cupolive oil
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 bunchfresh oregano or rosemary

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the marinade: to a medium bowl add the olive oil, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Add the lamb chops, toss to coat and let sit on the counter for up to 45 minutes.

  2. 2

    Before cooking, add 1/4 cup olive oil and juice of one lemon to a small bowl and whisk together. Set aside a small bunch of oregano or rosemary to use as a 'brush' with the olive oil and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Cook the lamb chops: After the lamb has sat in the marinade for 30-45 minutes, set a cast iron pan to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the lamb chops (you might like to cook 4 at a time to avoid crowding the pan).

  4. 4

    Cook for 3 minutes, flip, cook 2 minutes and baste with the fresh oregano / fresh rosemary dipped in olive oil/lemon juice mixture.

  5. 5

    Flip once more and cook 2 more minutes or until desired doneness. Remove the lamb chops to a plate and cook the next batch.

  6. 6

    Once all of the lamb chops are cooked, serve topped with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, juices from the pan (if desired) and fresh oregano.
