He saw these nice looking lamb loin chops at Costco and decided that's what he wanted for his birthday dinner. They look like 1-1/2 inch thick small t-bones so do I T-Rex them? I've never cooked lamb before, so please help.[p]Ed

    Edintx,
    You got that right, them little lambies are porterhouse cuts, me thinks. Grill direct at 400 dome until medium rare and your done, simple as that. First, brush on olive oil and then salt and pepper with a touch of garlic powder. Or use Greek seasoning. Or Dizzy Dust Red Eye Express, excellent on lamb.
    Have fun!

    Edintx,[p]Ditto on the previous posts. Recently I started adding a bit of lemon zest to the other spices I use on lamb, and liked the results alot. Some people find lamb to have a "heavy" flavor, and it can be a little greasey. The lemon seems make the flavor and mouth feel a little lighter.[p]gdenby

  • Edintx,[p]Thick lamb loin chops should be cooked indirect (IMHO) with a sprinkle of lemon zest, fresh rosemary and cracked black pepper. If you have time to marinate them use white wine.[p]If you want to use direct heat, then remove as much fat as possible. Charred lamb fat has a taste all of its own!
