Ingredients

    8 lamb rib chops, cut 1 inch thick
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
    1/4 cup honey
    4 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
    Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Directions

1) trim fat from chops. Season chops with salt and pepper. Place chops ina plastic bag set in a shallow dish. In a small bowl stir together balsamic vnegar, honey, and soy sauce. Pour over chops; seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occassionally.

2) Drain lamb, reserving marinade. Pour marinade into a heavy small saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, about 12 minutes or until reduced to about 1/3 cup; set aside. (Glaze will thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick to brush, reheat over low heat.)

3) Place chops on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill to desired doneness, turning and brushing once with glaze halfway through grilling. (Allow 12-13 minutes for medium-rar doneness {145} or 15-17 minutes for medium doneness {160}). Discard any remaining glaze. If desired garnish with rosemary sprigs.
