Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

LAMB – Choose lamb loin chops that have thick ribbons of fat for the most flavor. Optionally remove your lamb from the refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before cooking. Letting your lamb reach room temperature allows the meat to relax, compared to when it’s cold, it tenses up. Lamb is a meat that cooks quickly and can dry out easily, therefore it’s best to have it at room temperature so that it evenly cooks.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Yes, enjoying lamb with some pink is perfectly fine as long as the outside is cooked – just like you can eat a rare steak.

Lamb loin chops are considered safe to eat at 145F. I recommend cooking the loin chops to an internal temperature of 135F and allowing them to rest for 3-5 minutes. The temperature should rise around 10 degrees as it sits. An internal temperature of 145F will yield a medium-rare chop and 150F will yield medium. Guage the temperature with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the meat.

Store the grilled lamb loin chops in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Serving Suggestions

Serve grilled lamb loin chops with assorted grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, or a side salad. Enjoy warm, after being rested for 5 minutes in aluminum foil.
