- Add the 8 bone-in lamb loin chops or cutlets to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavour infusion.
- Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high heat. Use olive oil for brushing the grill grates or hotplate to prevent sticking.

Notes
Recipe Tips:
- For a more intense flavour, marinate the lamb chops overnight.
- If you don't have lemon myrtle or wattleseed, you can substitute with other herbs like rosemary or sage.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb chops are cooked to your liking. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C), for medium, 160°F (71°C), and for medium-well, 170°F (77°C).
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the barbecued lamb chops with a side of fresh garden salad and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Pair the lamb chops with a refreshing mint and yoghurt sauce for a touch of coolness and creaminess.
- Complement the lamb chops with a glass of hearty red wine for a perfect Aussie barbecue experience.
