Prep: 25 min · Cook: 10 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Grill

Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb loin chops
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp ginger
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tsp chili paste
• 0.25 cup cilantro

Cooking instructions

1. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
2. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and refrigerate for 2 hours to develop flavor. (about 120 min)
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Whisk the lime juice and chili paste together in a small bowl to make the glaze.
4. Remove the lamb from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Grill the chops, turning once, until the thickest part reaches at least 145°F (63°C). Brush with the lime-chili glaze only during the final minute, then rest the chops for at least 3 minutes. (about 10 min) — 400°F
5. Remove the lamb from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. (about 5 min)
