Wet Spice Rub for Lamb Chops

This is enough for 6 lamb rib chops.

1 tsp each:

• rosemary
• thyme
• marjorem
• garlic powder
• fresh ground pepper

1/2 tsp each:

• cayenne pepper
• seasoning salt

1 tbsp each:

• dry red wine
• balsamic vinegar

Mix all spices in one bowl. Rub the mixture on the meat. Let sit for about 15 - 20 minutes. Drizzle olive oil on the surface of the meat right before cooking.

The chops can then be grilled or broiled (in an oven or even in a toaster oven*). These chops are best when cooked medium rare to medium(for you technical people, that's an internal temperature of 140 F) . Any internal temp past that will ruin the meat. Let the chops rest for a few minutes before you serve it; in this case, five minutes will be good.

*For broiling something in the toaster oven, get one of these racks:
