Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Season lamb chops on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the lamb chops to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust is formed. Cook to your preferred doneness (medium-rare is suggested at an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour balsamic vinegar and honey into the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by about half and thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the unsalted butter to create a glossy, rich sauce.
Return the lamb chops to the skillet and spoon the balsamic reduction over them to coat.
Serve immediately with the sauce drizzled generously over the lamb chops. Pair with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
