Description
Incredible, juicy, lamb chops are a real thing of beauty. Juicy flavorful meat overflowing with garlic and herbs is something I can always get behind. Lamb chops are perfect appetizers for any gathering but they also make great main dishes too.
Instructions
- Season both sides of the lamb chop generously with salt and pepper.
- Combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl.
Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a large 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, once hot add in the lamb chops.
Sear until the surface is browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.- Flip and cook until meat reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (51°C) medium-rare, or 135°F (57°C) for medium, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Rest lamb chops for 10 minutes before serving.
