Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–9 bone-in lamb loin chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Allow the lamb chops to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat them dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil and let it heat for about one minute.
  3. Carefully place the lamb chops in the pan, ensuring space between each chop. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low; add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan, basting the chops with the melted mixture for an additional 5 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 125°F for medium-rare.
  5. Remove from heat, cover with foil, and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
