Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 lamb loin chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing

  1. Remove lamb chops from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub chops with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper on all sides.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Sear lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F).
  4. Add butter to the pan. Tilt and spoon the melted butter over the chops for 1 minute.
  5. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes. The temperature will carry over to 135°F.
