Ingredients

• 6 pieces Lamb chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Season lamb chops on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the lamb chops to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust is formed. Cook to your preferred doneness (medium-rare is suggested at an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 4

Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour balsamic vinegar and honey into the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by about half and thickens slightly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the unsalted butter to create a glossy, rich sauce.

Step 8

Return the lamb chops to the skillet and spoon the balsamic reduction over them to coat.

Step 9

Serve immediately with the sauce drizzled generously over the lamb chops. Pair with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
