Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the red wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, shallot, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for 2 hours. Flip the chops halfway through for even marination.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Season the chops lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Preheat the grill to medium-high (direct) heat.
Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side directly over the coals for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to be redistributed.
Sprinkle with additional fresh rosemary or thyme and serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
