Ingredients

For the Marinade:

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon lemon myrtle or wattleseed optional
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Lamb Chops:

8 bone-in lamb loin chops or lamb cutlets about 2.5 cm (1-inch) thick
Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, oregano, thyme, cumin, coriander, lemon myrtle or wattleseed (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the lamb chops 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. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, discarding any excess.
Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.

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.
