Marinated Grilled Lamb Loin Chops With a Mushroom Sherry Sauce

Ingredients: (Lamb)

6 Lamb Loin Chops (approximately 2 inches thick)
1/3 Cup Roughly Chopped Fresh Mint
1 Tbspn. Minced Fresh Rosemary
1 Tbspn Fresh Thyme
1/4 Tspn. Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tspn. Sea Salt

1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Dry Sherry
2 Tbspn. Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbspn. Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions:

Rinse Lamb Chops and pat dry.  In a sealable gallon size plastic storage bag mix all ingredients except for Lamb.  Zip bag shut removing as much air as possible and shake to incorporate all ingredients.  Add Lamb Chops to the bag and reseal removing as much air as possible.  Place bag on a dinner plate and flatten so that chops are lying flat.  Spin bag and repeat several time to coat chops well.  Place in refrigerator for at least 5 hours (can be kept in refrigerator overnight). Turn the bag every couple of hours.  Before grilling remove Lamb from bag and pat dry to remove excess marinade.  Place Lamb Chops on a searing burner to mark each side. (This can also be done on high heat if you don't have a searing burner.) Remove Lamb Chops from searing burner (or high heat) and cook over medium flame.  Approximately 4 minutes on each side for Medium doneness.
