Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 cup Red wine (e.g., a dry Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 0.5 cup Beef or chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the olive oil is hot, sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden crust. Cook longer if you prefer a more well-done chop. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside to rest under foil.

Step 4

To the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, releasing any caramelized bits.

Step 6

Add the beef or chicken stock and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it reduces by about half.

Step 7

Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. For a touch of sweetness, add the honey at this stage, if desired.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Return the lamb chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.

Step 10

Serve the lamb chops immediately, drizzled with the red wine and rosemary sauce. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side of your choice.
