Ingredients

• 4 pieces lamb steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 cup dry white wine or chicken stock (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Take the lamb steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature, approximately 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Pat the lamb steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gently smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor but keep them mostly intact.

Step 5

Add the lamb steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your preferred level of doneness.

Step 6

Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and butter to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the lamb steaks with the melted butter mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

If using white wine or chicken stock, deglaze the pan by pouring it in and scrapping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 1 minute to reduce slightly and create a simple pan sauce.

Step 8

Remove the lamb steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate loosely tented with foil for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of sides and drizzle with the pan sauce created during cooking, if desired.
