Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the lamb chops on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme.
Season the lamb chops generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the Dijon mustard mixture onto both sides of each lamb chop.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the pan.
Place the lamb chops in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
