{'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Place lamb chops on grill; sprinkle with a bit of salt. Grill on the first side until seared, 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chops, rotating chops a half turn on the grill about 1 minute before flipping. Flip chops and grill other side until desired doneness, 4 to 7 minutes more. For medium rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C). Transfer to a serving dish and tent loosely with foil.'}
