Broiled Lamb Chops Recipes

BROILED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk together dry red wine, orange juice, garlic, shallots, rosemary, oregano, and olive oil in a small bowl. Pour mixture into a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, reserving 1/4 cup; add lamb chops. Seal bag, and chill 2 hours.
• Remove chops from marinade, discarding marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chops on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan.
• Stir together reserved 1/4 cup wine mixture and honey.
• Broil chops 3 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) 5 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting with honey mixture after 3 minutes. If using loin chops instead of rib chops, broil loin chops 3 more minutes on each side.

BROILED SEASONED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except the lamb, in a small bowl.
• On rack in broiler pan, arrange the chops.
• Brush chops with the mixture and broil 4" from the heat for 10 minutes, or until desired doneness; turning once and brushing with the parsley mixture occasionally.

OVEN-BROILED LAMB CHOPS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix wine, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, and ginger together in a zip-top freezer bag; add lamb chops. Seal and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Remove lamb chops from the marinade and shake off excess; transfer chops to a wire rack set in a shallow pan.
• Strain the marinade and save the liquid only. Heat the liquid in a small saucepan to the point of boiling. Stir in flour until a gravy-like consistency is reached. More or less flour can be used to create the desired thickness.
• Broil the lamb chops until medium-rare, 4 1/4 minutes per side (4 1/2 minutes for medium). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium doneness. Pour a little of the gravy over the chops and serve.

BROILED LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Arrange chops on broiler pan.
• In a small pot, combine vinegar, sugar, rosemary, and garlic. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer 10 minutes to thicken sauce. Remove garlic.
• Broil chops 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Season chops with salt and pepper. Transfer chops to warm serving platter and drizzle with balsamic rosemary reduction.

GRILLED OR BROILED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat grill or broiler until moderately hot for double chops or very hot for single chops and place rack about 4 inches from heat source.
• Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.
• Cut clove of garlic and rub over meat if desired.
• If broiling, about 10 minutes before you're ready to cook, put a cast iron or other sturdy, heatproof skillet on the rack.
• Grill or broil chops, 3 or 4 inches from the heat source, until they are nicely browned on both sides.
• Single chops require only 2 or 3 minutes per side at most.
• For double chops cooking time will still be less than 10 minutes. You don't want to overcook the chops.
• Serve with lemon wedges, sauce or jelly.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until combined. Pour in olive oil and pulse into a paste. Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature; it will take about 20 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium.

BROILED LAMB CHOPS WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat the lamb chops dry, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste, and broil them on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 6 minutes. Turn the chops, broil them for 4 minutes more for medium-rare meat, and let them stand for 5 minutes. While the chops are standing, in a small saucepan melt the butter and stir in the zest, the capers, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the chops to 2 plates and pour the sauce over them.

SIMPLE GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix together the vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and olive oil in a large resealable bag until the salt has dissolved. Add lamb, toss until coated, and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Remove lamb from the marinade and leave any onions on that stick to the meat. Discard any remaining marinade. Wrap the exposed ends of the bones with aluminum foil to keep them from burning. Grill to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium. The chops may also be broiled in the oven about 5 minutes per side for medium.
