Juicy Spanish Lamb Chops with Rosemary and Garlic

Introduction

These mouthwatering Spanish-style lamb chops are marinated in butter, garlic, and rosemary before being seared on the Arteflame grill at 1,000°F for a perfect crust. The reverse searing method ensures that the meat is juicy and full of flavor. With the Arteflame's unique design, you can grill your sides while the lamb reaches its ideal doneness.

Ingredients

• 8 lamb chops
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for heat)
• Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins and light them.
3. Wait approximately 20 minutes for the grill to reach optimal cooking temperature.

Step 2: Marinate the lamb chops

1. In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes.
2. Rub the marinade all over the lamb chops and let them sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Sear the lamb chops

1. Place the marinated lamb chops on the center grill grate at 1,000°F.
2. Sear for about 1-2 minutes per side to develop a flavorful crust.

Step 4: Reverse sear on the flat cooktop

1. Move the lamb chops from the center grill grate to the cooktop griddle.
2. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 15°F below your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare).

Step 5: Rest and serve

1. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
2. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.

Tips

• Always let the meat rest before slicing to retain juices.
• Use high-quality fresh rosemary for the best flavor.
• If you prefer a smokier taste, add a few wood chips to the fire.
