Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.

Step 2

Place the lamb chops into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside for garnish.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Remove lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and sear the chops in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cook longer if desired, depending on your preferred doneness.

Step 6

While cooking, drizzle any remaining marinade over the lamb during the last minute for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Sprinkle the rested lamb chops with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions for a fresh finish.

Step 9

Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a perfect meal.
