Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dried oregano (or can use 2 teaspoons dried)
- 6 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 8 lamb chops (about 1 to 1 1/4-inch thick)
- 3 tablespoons honey, divided (do not sub anything for the honey that is what tenderizes the meat and nothing else will work the same)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Mix/whisk the first 7 ingredients together with 2 tablespoons of honey until well blended. Arrange the lamb chops in a single layer in a glass dish; pour the marinade over the chops then turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning often (no less than 24 hours can be even 48 hours).
-
Step 2: Remove the chops from the marinade, then mix in remaining 1 tablespoon of honey into the marinade. Prepare the grill to medium-high heat. Grill lamb to desired tenderness, turning and basting often with the marinade (for medium-rare grill about 10 minutes).
