Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 sliced lemon (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Season both sides of the lamb chops with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the lamb chops to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 5
Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on one side until nicely browned, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time if you prefer more or less doneness.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Stir the garlic to prevent burning.
Step 7
Add the butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the lamb chops to baste them for added flavor.
Step 8
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with lemon slices (optional) and serve warm.
