- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbs Dry White Wine such as Pino Grigio
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 8 1-inch thick lamb loin chops trimmed

Instructions
- Remove the lamb chops from the fridge about 20 minutes before you're ready to grill.
- Preheat the stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

- Brush the mixture evenly over all sides of the lamb chops.
- Place lamb chops on the grill pan. Grill or broil for about 4 minutes on each side, cooking to the desired degree of doneness. Always or until an inserted thermometer reads 135 degrees F for medium-rare or 150 degrees for medium. Note that the temperature should rise by another 10 degrees or so when the grilled lamb chops are resting.
- Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a plate or cutting board. Tent with one large piece of foil and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve with a fresh garden salad, hot crusty bread, or a side dish of your choice - the endless possibilities.

Notes
- Always cook any meat to temperature, not by time. The safe cooking temperature for lamb is 135°F for medium rare and 135°F for medium. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the center temperature at the thickest parts to ensure your lamb chops are cooked perfectly. Remove from the grill pan when the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches at least 135°F. The temperature will continue to rise several degrees while the chops rest.
- These lamb chops cook very quickly, so prepare any salads or sides in advance.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
