Lamb chops are a special treat for me and I usually make them with a sauce. This time I grilled them and served them with gravy. I mean you can’t have gravy without mashed potatoes. A win win for me!

Grilled Lamb Chops with Mashed Potatoes and Rosemary Gravy
- 4 lamb chops
- 1/8 cup EVOO
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
- kosher salt and black pepper
- fresh thyme leaves
Combine the marinade ingredients and brush both sides of the chops. Marinate at least a few hours or overnight. I always like to marinate (if possible) overnight.
Remove the lamb 30 minutes before grilling. Place on paper towels to get rid of excess oil. Grill the lamb chops 4 minutes per side on medium heat or until the lamb chops reach 145 degrees (medium).
Gravy:
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp. flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 tsp. low sodium soy sauce
- fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
Melt 3 tbsp. butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in flour and stir for a few minutes. Slowly add beef broth stirring constantly. Add the minced rosemary. Simmer, while stirring for a few minutes until it thickens.
Serve the gravy with the grilled lamb chops along with a side of mashed potatoes. Add a vegetable of your choice such as green beans.
Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 lbs. red potatoes, cut into chunks (I peeled mine as the skins were not very pretty) See Note
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in small cubes
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to the hot pan.
Mash the butter first into the hot potatoes, then add the milk and sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mash until smooth.
Note: Normally I use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes but these red potatoes were all I had. It has been said that equal portions of Yukon gold and Russet make the best mashed potatoes.

You have me craving dinner for breakfast. 🤣
It’s the mashed potatoes and gravy 🙂
What a beautiful meal. I’m gaga over the idea of rosemary gravy. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks Teagan – I enjoyed it two nights in a row! A special dinner for me 🙂
wonderful lamb chops..I love flavours of rosemary in meat..does wonders to the flavour! The gravy looks delicious too…delightful meal Judi!
Thanks Shy – rosemary goes so well with lamb. It was good in the mashed potatoes too 🙂
Very appetizing dinner plate! The olive oil – garlic – rosemary marinade is so prefect for lamb. 🙂
Thank you Ronit – I certainly agree. The marinade was light but enhanced the flavor of the lamb! I actually left the lamb chops in the refrigerator for 2 nights and they were delicious 🙂
we don’t eat lamb but yes to mash and gravy! it’s funny cos i used to eat lamb as a child when mum cooked it…
I never ate lamb as a child, but my hubby and I enjoyed it. Not many family members will eat lamb. Always yes to mashed potatoes and gravy 🙂
Judi, we love lamb and have it often. I can’t think of a better plate of food than a good grilled chop (medium rare for me) with gravy and mash potatoes. Roremary and garlic are a perfect flavor base for any lamb dish in my oppion…
I agree Ron – I love them grilled with just a few ingredients so the lamb “shines”. A nice treat with mashed potatoes and gravy!
Oh I love lamb. Sometimes I buy myself a couple of chops, just for myself. A little salt and pepper and that’s it. My husband won’t eat lamb, even though he used to… I don’t make enough gravies. Great idea. Great meal!
Thanks Mimi – I enjoy lamb, especially grilled. I don’t make enough gravies either but with this meal it was perfect!
