Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to create the glaze. Set aside.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the lamb chops in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden brown crust.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the balsamic herb glaze over the lamb chops, turning each chop to coat it evenly with the mixture.
Add the butter to the skillet, placing small dollops around the pan to enhance the sauce and baste the chops.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the lamb chops for 7-10 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness (for medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 135°F/57°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops warm, spooning any leftover glaze from the skillet over the top for extra flavor. Pair them with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
