Easy cooking! The Italian salad dressing was a nice change, I marinated them in a ziplock bag, nice taste but a little mild for lamb chops. Broiled them about 8 minutes a side, medium rare. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent!! The chops were so thick I first seared them....broiled next. They were still rare so I finished by baking them....We loved the flavor. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Ellie.

Thank you -- THANK you !! I LOVE lamb --- DH thinks it all tastes (and smells) like MUTTON !! We had marinated chops at a friend's house last year -- and he thought they were wonderful ! I found some loin chops at Costco, and prepared THIS recipe, marinated all day-- and DH agreed to grill them. Served with Mediterranean Israeli couscous, and spanikopita. Was a WONDERFUL meal !! Both of us truly enjoyed it -- thanks so much, ellie_, this will be made many more times !!

I found some lamb round steaks at the grocery store and wasn't sure exactly what to do with them and was actually kind of scared they wouldn't turn out well (I'd never used lamb in any other form except ground), but this recipe did the trick. The lamb was tender, juicy and oh, so flavorful and on top of that they smelled fantastic while they were cooking. Can't wait for it to get warm out so I can do these on the grill. Thanks for posting this recipe Ellie!

I was sorting through some recipes I tried and realized I never left a review here. I am not a lamb lover but this was excellent and both my DH and I really enjoyed these lamb chops. I followed the directons step by step and they turned out perfect. Thanks for posting Ellie. I have moved to my Tried and True folder.
