Treat yourself and your guests to a delightful entree – savory, tender pan-seared lamb chops infused with the flavors of garlic and rosemary. Perfect for a romantic dinner or intimate gathering.
In a small bowl, combine the minced rosemary, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2
Generously coat each lamb chop with the rosemary mixture, massaging it into the meat using your fingers.
3
Marinate the lamb chops at room temperature for 30 minutes, regardless if working with single or double rib chops.
4
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
5
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-proof sauté pan over high heat. When the oil is shimmering hot, sear the lamb chops on all sides for 2 minutes per side.
6
If you prefer your lamb chops medium or well-done, transfer the oven-proof sauté pan to the preheated oven and finish cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
7
Remove the lamb chops from the pan and transfer to a plate or cutting board. Tent them with foil and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
