BBQ Danish Lamb Chops – Garlic & Rosemary Grilled Perfection

Introduction

Nothing beats the rich, savory flavor of Danish lamb chops grilled to perfection. Marinated with garlic and rosemary, then seared at 1,000°F on the Arteflame grill, these chops lock in all their natural juices. Using the flat cooktop griddle to finish them off ensures even cooking and a perfect, juicy bite every time. Let's get grilling!

Ingredients

  • 8 Danish lamb chops
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for lighting the grill)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

  1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them into the grill.
  2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins.
  3. Light the napkins and let the wood fully ignite. Allow about 20 minutes for the grill to reach cooking temperature.

Step 2: Marinate the Lamb Chops

  1. In a bowl, mix the garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, melted butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey.
  2. Coat the lamb chops evenly with the marinade.
  3. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.

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 about 2 minutes to lock in juices.
  3. Move the chops to the flat-top cooktop to finish cooking.

Step 4: Finish on the Flat Cooktop

  1. Cook the chops to desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
  2. Remember to remove them 15°F earlier as they will continue cooking after removal.
  3. Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Always bring your lamb chops to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
  • Baste the chops with melted butter towards the end for extra richness.
  • Grill vegetables or bread on the outer flat-top while cooking the lamb.

Variations

  1. Greek Style: Use oregano, lemon zest, and garlic in place of rosemary.
  2. Spicy Harissa: Add harissa paste and cumin for a fiery kick.
  3. Balsamic & Honey: Substitute lemon juice with balsamic vinegar for a tangy-sweet finish.
  4. Mint & Yogurt: Marinate in Greek yogurt with chopped mint for a fresh twist.
  5. Asian Fusion: Use soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil for an umami-packed variation.

Conclusion

With the incredible searing power of the Arteflame grill, BBQ Danish lamb chops have never been this tasty. The high-heat sear locks in juices, while the flat-top cooktop delivers perfect doneness. Try these variations and impress everyone at your next barbecue!
