Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Dry sherry
- 0.5 cup Beef or chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and adjust the oven rack to be about 6 inches from the heat source.
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides. Rub the minced garlic evenly over the chops.
Place the lamb chops on a broiler-safe pan or a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Broil the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the lamb chops are broiling, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Once the onions are caramelized, deglaze the skillet by adding the sherry. Cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the beef or chicken stock and thyme leaves to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced slightly and thickened.
Taste and adjust the seasoning of the sauce with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
To serve, place the broiled lamb chops on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the caramelized onions and sherry sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
