Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is an internal temperature of 145°F, medium is 160°F). Remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest under foil.
Step 3
To make the spicy peanut sauce, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sriracha, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and warmed through.
Step 5
Pour the spicy peanut sauce over the rested lamb chops or serve on the side for dipping.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Serve the lamb chops with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish.
