Let's Get Started
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the lamb chops to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill the chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of extra oregano, if desired.
