Ingredients

  • 3 lamb chops
  • salt & pepper season generously
  • 2-3 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 twigs rosemary

Instructions

  • Bring lamb chops to room temperature.
  • When ready to cook, pat the chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a skillet over medium to medium high heat. Melt butter in the skillet. Add garlic and rosemary.
  • Add in the chops. Sear one side of the chops for a few minutes until it is slightly golden brown. Flip and sear the other side.
  • Continue cooking until desired doneness. For medium rare, pull the chops when they are 135℉; for medium, 150℉; for well, 160℉. (See Note 1)
  • Allow the chops to rest for 3 minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: If the outsides of the lamb chops are browned but the insides are not cooking quick enough, consider covering the skillet with a lid to speed up cooking time. Also consider lowering the heat as needed.
