Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 3 pieces egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Take the lamb chops out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature, approximately 20 minutes before cooking.
Step 2
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the lamb chops with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the chops from the heat, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
Step 4
To make the minted Hollandaise sauce, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, keep warm and set aside.
Step 5
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, water, and lemon juice until fully combined.
Step 6
Place the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Continuously whisk the mixture until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
Step 8
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the fresh mint leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 9
Serve the lamb chops on a plate and drizzle generously with the minted Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with additional mint leaves, if desired.
