Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 cup red wine
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix red wine, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Reserve the leftover marinade for later use.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Lower the heat to medium, add the reserved marinade to the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. This will create a flavorful sauce while the lamb chops finish cooking to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare).
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and stir into the sauce to add richness.
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb chops hot, drizzled with the honey and wine sauce. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
