Here’s a classic, flavorful Lamb Chops recipe 🥩—tender, juicy, and easy to cook.
Pan-Seared Lamb Chops
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 4–6 lamb chops (about ½–¾ inch thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp rosemary (fresh or dried)
- 1 tsp thyme (optional)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- Prepare lamb
- Pat chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
- Let sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
- Heat pan
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook lamb
- Add lamb chops to hot pan.
- Cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Optional: during the last minute, add butter and garlic to the pan and spoon over chops for extra flavor.
- Rest
- Remove from pan and let lamb rest 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For a grilled flavor, cook chops on a hot grill for 3–4 minutes per side.
- Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
- Don’t overcook—lamb is best slightly pink inside for tenderness.
If you want, I can also give a marinated lamb chops recipe that’s garlicky, lemony, and extra flavorful for grilling or roasting.
