In a freezer bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Add the lamb chops and rub them with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.

Before cooking, let lamb chops sit at room temp 30 min.

Heat a large heavy pan (we prefer cast iron) or grill over high heat. Remove the chops from the bag. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes.
