Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick-cut lamb chops (bone-in preferred)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Allow lamb chops to reach room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- 2. Season the Lamb: Pat dry the lamb chops with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 3. Sear the Chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned lamb chops without overcrowding the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
- 4. Add Garlic and Butter: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic and butter to the skillet, spooning the melted garlic butter over the chops continuously for another 3-4 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
- 5. Finish with Rosemary: Sprinkle chopped rosemary over the chops just before removing from heat to infuse flavor.
- 6. Serve: Transfer the lamb chops onto a serving platter and drizzle any leftover garlic butter from the pan over them. Serve alongside roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
