Ingredients
4 lamb chops (rib or loin)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
Prep the Lamb: Pat lamb chops dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Sear the Chops: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add lamb chops and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
Add Garlic Butter: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Baste lamb chops with the melted butter mixture for 1–2 minutes.
Finish & Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice if using. Remove from heat and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve hot with pan sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate chops in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 1 hour before cooking.
Best served medium-rare to medium for tender, juicy results.
Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a simple salad.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
