How do you know when lamb chops are done on the grill?

  • It's best to use an instant read thermometer. The lamb chops are ready once internal temperature registers at 145 degrees F, which should take about 7 minutes.
  • Surface Press Method : Soft but springs back slightly (Medium-Rare 130–135°F / 54–57°C), Firm but yielding (Medium (140–145°F / 60–63°C)
  • Visual & Juice Cues : Warm pink center, light pink juices (Medium-Rare), Slightly pink center, clear juices (Medium)

Note: Lamb chops are best at medium-rare to medium to avoid toughness.
