Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds lamb loin chops about 8-10 chops
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the rosemary, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in a food processor chopper. Pulse until it is well chopped and combined.
- If your lamb chops have some silver skin on them, use a thin knife to cut it off.
- Marinate the lamb chops in this mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to about 2 hours.
- Preheat your smoker according to the manufacturer's directions.
- Sprinkle the marinated chops with salt and pepper before smoking.
- Smoke these Traeger smoked lamb chops at 225-F for about 40 minutes or until they reach 135-F for medium-rare chops.
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle or a cast iron pan until smoking hot and sear the chops for 1-2 minutes per side just to put some color on them. Reverse seared lamb chops are just prettier!
- Let rest for 5 minutes and dig in!
