Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, finely chop the rosemary and mince the garlic. Combine them with the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the lamb chops on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the lamb chops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest on a serving plate for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the lamb chops hot, garnished with additional fresh rosemary, if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
