Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Foil (for resting)

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 lamb cutlets frenched and trimmed
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 lemon zest only
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar if using.
  • Coat the lamb cutlets evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Remove cutlets from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Place lamb cutlets on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
  • Remove from the grill and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Letting the meat rest helps retain juices.
