Ingredients

Scale

8 lamb rib chops, about 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Brush the lamb chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the lamb is resting, prepare the chimichurri sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil until the sauce is well combined.
Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the grilled lamb chops or serve it on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your grilled lamb chops with chimichurri.
