Ingredients

1. 1/4 cup soy sauce
2. 3 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
3. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
4. 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
5. 1 small garlic clove, minced
6. 1/2 teaspoon honey
7. Four 6-ounce lamb loin chops, cut 1 1/2 inches thick
8. 3 tablespoons finely chopped basil
9. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10. 1/2 pound fingerling or new potatoes, quartered if large
11. 3/4 pound thin green beans, trimmed

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the sesame oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic and honey.  Pour half the mixture into a small baking dish, add the chops and turn to coat.  Let stand for 10 minutes, turning once.  Add the basil and olive oil to the remaining marinade.
2. Light a grill or preheat the broiler.  In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes.  Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a bowl.  Add the beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes;  drain and pat dry.  Add the beans and the soy-basil dressing to the potatoes and toss.  Cover with foil and keep warm.
3. Remove the chops from the marinade and pat dry.  Grill over moderate heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.  Transfer the chops to plates, add the potato and bean salad and serve.
