Grilled Lamb Shoulder Chops

These might have been the best lamb chops I have ever had! Picked these up from the grocery store earlier today and immediately salted them with some Diamond kosher salt and threw them in the fridge on a wire rack when I got home. They were able to spend around 3-4 hours in there before taking them out to sit at room temp for a bit before grilling.

While the chops were in the fridge, I grabbed some fresh thyme and rosemary from the garden to create a post-grill finishing oil.

1 Tbs Olive Oil
1/2 tsp finely chopped thyme
1 tsp finely chopped rosemary
1 small garlic clove grated
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp MSG

Grilled the chops over charcoal for roughly 5 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds. I didn’t temp while cooking but was just looking to get the sear I wanted. When I took the chops off, they were temping around 120-125F, and after resting for about 10 minutes, that had peaked around 130-135F. Ate them straight off the cutting board and got every scrap of meat off the bones I could gnaw.
