Ingredients

• 4 lamb chops
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Dutch mixed herbs (thyme, marjoram, rosemary, and parsley)
• 1 tsp sea salt

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp mustard powder

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins.
4. Light the paper and allow the fire to fully develop (about 20 minutes).

Step 2: Prepare the lamb chops

1. Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel.
2. Rub them with salt, pepper, mustard powder, Dutch mixed herbs, and minced garlic.
3. Melt butter on the flat griddle cooktop.

Step 3: Sear the lamb chops

1. Place the lamb chops on the center grill grate at 1,000°F.
2. Sear each side for 2 minutes to develop a rich crust.

Step 4: Bring to desired doneness

1. Move the seared chops to the hotter area of the flat griddle cooktop.
2. Cook to your preferred doneness, flipping occasionally.

Step 5: Rest and serve

2. Serve hot with your favorite grilled side dishes.

Tips
