Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
• 2 lamb shoulder blade chops
• 3 leaves mint

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and soy sauce together in a bowl; stir in chopped mint. Add lamb chops and toss to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

Step 3

Place lamb chops on the grill, reserving marinade in the bowl. Cook lamb chops, flipping once, until slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Place onto a serving plate.

Step 4

Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until marinade is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Drizzle over lamb chops; garnish with mint leaves.
