Brush the chops with 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil and set aside to marinate.
In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of virgin olive oil over high heat.
Add the sliced red onion to the saucepan and cook until softened, approximately 7 to 9 minutes.
Add the sugar to the softened onions and cook until a dark-brown caramel begins to form.
Pour in the juices and zests of the oranges, lemons, and limes, along with the red wine vinegar.
Simmer the citrus mixture for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Gently fold in the orange, lemon, and lime segments.
Continue to simmer for 2 minutes more, then remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
Grill the lamb chops over the hottest part of the grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
