Grilled lamb chops, like steaks, don’t need sauces or drizzles or any kind of condiment to finish them off because the meat itself is so flavorful. That said, sometimes a light, fresh, and fruity concoction can add a bit of extra zing to complement the savory lamb or beef.
Here, the orange and apricot drizzle doesn’t get any simpler to make—but it does add a touch of tasty sweetness to finish the juicy, tender lamb.
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1-1/2 tsp apricot preserves
- 1/2 tsp thinly sliced orange zest
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil, for rubbing the grill grate
- 4 lamb rib chops, 1-1/4-inch thick (about 1-1/2 lbs total)

Preparation
- Combine the orange juice, apricot preserves, and orange zest in a small bowl, stirring well to dissolve the preserves. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Light a grill for medium-high heat.
- Rub the grill grate with olive oil. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and grill until medium-rare, 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness (or until desired degree of doneness).
- Transfer the lamb chops to a board and let rest 3 minutes.
