Instructions
Preparing grilled lamb cutlets is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps for amazing results:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
2. Marinate the Lamb: Place the lamb cutlets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over, ensuring all the cutlets are well-coated. Seal or cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the lamb marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
4. Grill the Lamb: Remove the lamb cutlets from the marinade, shaking off excess. Place them on the grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the time to your preferred doneness.
5. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
6. Let Rest: Once done, transfer the cutlets to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Garnish: Arrange the grilled lamb cutlets on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs for a beautiful presentation.
8. Serve: Enjoy your grilled lamb cutlets while they are warm. They pair beautifully with a variety of side dishes.
These steps ensure that your grilled lamb cutlets turn out fantastic, delivering both flavor and tenderness to each bite.
