Simple Grilled Lamb Chops

• 6 to 8 loin lamb chops
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan over high heat.
2. If using a charcoal grill, build the fire so that one side of the grill has more coals than the other a hot side.
3. If using a grill pan, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
4. Rub the lamb chops with the garlic and season aggressively with salt and pepper.
5. If grilling, place on the hot side for 2 minutes per side.
6. Move the chops to the cooler side of the grill to cook through, an additional 6 to 7 minutes.
7. If using a grill pan, grill one side for 2 minutes to sear, then turn over the chops and place the pan in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes.
8. Remove from the grill or oven and allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.
