Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the lamb chops in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt.
Sear the lamb chops in the hot pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the lamb chops warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
