Grilled Lamb Loin Chops with Garlic and Herbs Recipe
Lamb loin chops are the most tender chops on the lamb and are, therefore, more expensive. However, they are well worth the extra expense. Lamb loin chops resemble little t-bones. They are best cut thick and grilled or broiled to medium-rare or medium doneness.
