Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb loin chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 medium shallot (finely minced)
• 2 teaspoons capers (drained and minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the lamb loin chops dry with a paper towel and rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside while the grill heats.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, prepare the Cafe De Paris butter by combining softened unsalted butter with minced shallot, capers, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, tarragon, parsley, paprika, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce.

Step 4

Mix the butter mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a log, and refrigerate until firm (about 20 minutes).

Step 5

Place the lamb loin chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness.

Step 6

Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the chilled Cafe De Paris butter into coin-sized rounds.

Step 8

Plate the grilled lamb loin chops and top each chop with a slice of Cafe De Paris butter. Allow the butter to melt slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
