The Art of Fire Lamb Chops with Rosemary and Garlic Smoke
A timeless flavour brought to life by flame
The scent of lamb, garlic and rosemary rising from a real fire is one of the simplest pleasures in outdoor cooking. It captures everything that makes grilling over flame so special — the sound of sizzling fat, the perfume of herbs carried on the smoke, and the first bite of tender meat that melts away with rich, savoury depth.
The Flamery Asado Grill makes this ritual effortless. Its open design and adjustable height allow you to move seamlessly between searing and slow roasting, creating lamb chops that are crisp on the outside and perfectly pink within. Combined with the precision of the ETI BlueDOT Oven Thermometer and the richness of EatAlfresco Olive Oil, this dish delivers fire cooked flavour with refined simplicity.
Choosing the Right Cut
Ask your butcher for lamb loin chops or cutlets, ideally around three centimetres thick. These cuts are tender and well suited to quick grilling with just enough fat to baste the meat naturally.
If possible, choose lamb that has been grass fed for a sweeter, cleaner flavour. Pat the chops dry with paper towel before seasoning — this will help create a beautiful crust as they hit the grill.
Flavour Foundations
This recipe relies on classic Mediterranean flavours. Garlic, rosemary and olive oil come together to create a marinade that enhances the natural sweetness of the lamb while the smoke from the fire adds complexity.
Combine the ingredients in a bowl and coat the lamb chops generously. Leave to marinate for at least one hour or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavour.
The Fire Setup
Prepare the Flamery Asado Grill with a moderate bed of embers using hardwood such as oak or beech. You are looking for a steady, even heat that allows you to cook the chops quickly without burning.
Position the grill rack about 20 to 25 centimetres above the coals. Brush the surface lightly with EatAlfresco Olive Oil to prevent sticking.
Cooking the Lamb Chops
Place the lamb chops on the grill directly over the heat. Listen for that satisfying sizzle — it tells you the fire is ready.
Cook for three to four minutes on the first side until a golden crust forms.
Turn and cook for a further two to three minutes on the other side.
Use the ETI BlueDOT Oven Thermometer to check the internal temperature. For perfect medium rare lamb, aim for around 58 degrees Celsius.
Move the chops to a cooler part of the grill to rest for a minute or two while you prepare the finishing oil.
Resting and Finishing
In a small bowl, combine a tablespoon of EatAlfresco Olive Oil with a few sprigs of rosemary and a pinch of sea salt. Brush this fragrant oil over the lamb while it rests so it glistens and absorbs that final burst of aroma.
Serve the lamb chops on a wooden board with a squeeze of lemon juice and a scattering of rosemary leaves. The simplicity of the presentation allows the flavours of fire, meat and herbs to shine.
Serving Suggestion
Pair these lamb chops with grilled asparagus, roasted cherry tomatoes or a salad of rocket and Parmesan. A glass of red wine or a crisp rosé completes the experience, best enjoyed outdoors as the evening light fades and the coals glow softly beneath the grill.
