3. Coat the Chops

Massage the marinade onto the lamb chops until fully covered.
Let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 2–4 hours for deeper flavor.

4. Grill or Pan-Sear

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill on medium-high.

• Cook each side for 3–4 minutes, depending on thickness.
